Pamela

For once I did enjoy one of the novels we have read in class, even though at times the letters that Pamela did write were lengthy and filled with useless information.  The overall plot of the book was interesting.  Since I did do my presentation on Pamela, and I found useful information about 18th century servants, I was able to understand some of the situations that Pamela was placed.

The only thing that bothered me in the book, was that Pamela was so desperate to be released from her master, and returned to her parents.  Her master did eventually give her the option to leave, and half way through the drive home she decides that she wants to return to him and be his wife!!!!!  The only thing I could think was what an idiot she was, why would you want to return to someone who has treated you horribly and who has attempted numerous time to steal your virtue.  Honestly, there must be some other respectable suitor in the area other than this thing you call a man.
