After reading Pamela I would have to say that I enjoyed, but also disliked certain parts of the book. The presentation of her intimate thoughts through personal letters was one of the things I liked. It was much more interesting and lively to understand the sequence of events through her jumbled thoughts rather than through a third person narrative. What delighted me the most was that throughout Vol. I and part of Vol. II she not only portrayed a virtuous and innocent young servant girl, but a fiery one who was able to stand up for her morals. Thus, her meek obedience and acceptance of her Master's love in the second half of the book brought a bad taste to my mouth. However, I admit that in the eighteenth century mindset, the so-called "reward of virtue" as in Pamela's case of a poor servant girl rising to noble status would be seen as a sensational and provocative read. I definitely did not agree with Pamela's marriage to her Master. It was as if an abused victim returned to her abusee, like there was something attractive and disturbing about the situation.
