Topic A: “Says Mrs. Jervis, Pamela, don’t be so pert to his honour: you should know your distance; you see his honour was only in jest.—O dear Mrs. Jervis, said I, don’t you blame me too. It is very difficult to keep one’s distance to the greatest of men, when they won’t keep it themselves to their meanest servants.” (Richardson, Pamela, Volume I, Letter XVI, p.35 OUP). Taking this passage as a starting-point, discuss the ways in which the balance of power between men and women is interrogated in Samuel Richardson’s Pamela. (Your answer should include some discussion of the novel’s form.)
