Pamela is written as if it were a series of letters, but evolves into a journal-esque format. Though instructional concerning the origin of the English novel, it is incredibly boring. Pamela is eventually rewarded for her virtue - the whole plot in one sentence. It is long, intensely repetitive and the characters are entirely unbelievable. For an eighteenth century novel it is mysteriously devoid of humour, except that the reader might laugh at how awkwardly Richardson forges his happy ending.
