Pamela And Shamela A01

Ao1 the impression i have developed of the characters Pamela and Shamela differ with each extract. In the first extract from Pamela her character is represented as weak and naive. "with struggling, fright,terror, i fainted quite away" this quote shows her naivety to the plot formed against her. it also displays quite a conservative form of language in the text as this is a epistolary.
however in Shamela she is represented as far more in control of the situation therefore she contrasts this naivety that Shamela has. "Mrs Jervis and i are just in bed and the door unlocked; if my master should come -oddbobs!" here there is a definite change in the style of language as here she appears to be more colloquial, and alarmingly informal in the way that the letters context is to her mother.
in the first extract there is a distinct connection between love and fear and here they are represented through Pamelas fear of Mr b "silence, said he to her i must say one word to you,Pamela; it is this: you see, now you are in my Power!"
this conveys this link between loving her to much that he has scared her into being with him and this leading to the terrible situation she finds herself in.
however in both of these extracts the we cannot take these accounts for events as gospel as they are letters to her mum so they maybe censored of over exaggerated and there for their be a misunderstanding in her feelings and reactions towards love.
