Pamela v. Shamela Take 3

I found while reading Shamela that i tended to be a defender of Richardson, which was quite surprising because I did particularly enjoy Pamela. Additionally, the characters and their morals presented by Richardson were stuck in my head throughout the book leading me to disregard Fieldings views. As a result i tended to feel happy that Parson Williams and Pamela/Shamela were having their little affair and hurting Mr.B/Booby, for he was still evil. Perhaps this biased is because of something so simple as reading Pamela first and even with the questions about her action's she remained the person you rooted for. Furthermore ,as Feilding's Shamela exposes and plays on many of Richardson's annoying habits it begins to feel overdone and loses it laugh factor after the first couple of pages leaving you with a kinder view towards Richardson's work.
