In this blog I want to share one question that everyone's mind has a question that If Pamela was in the contemporary time, will the story take any changes?
-Assigned by Vaidehi ma'am.
1.) If Pamela was in the contemporary time, will the story take any changes?
If the character Pamela, from the 18th-century novel "Pamela" by Samuel Richardson, were placed in a contemporary setting, several notable changes would likely seen.
Here's how the story might evolve in a modern context:
Introduction:
In the original novel, Pamela is a young girl servant who faces many challenges related to her virtue and social status in a society.
Her story is told through a series of letters ( epistolary novel) and reflects the moral values of the 18th century.
However, if Pamela t placed in modern time, the following changes must be seen:
•Communication
•Social Values
•occupation
•Fashion
•Legal and cultural context
•Language and Dialogue
1.communication:-
Pamela would likely use modern technology like smartphone and social media to communicate with mr. B.
This change is take place in contemporary time.
In contemporary time, Pamela and mr.b must exchange text message, emails and other social media like Instagram, Facebook instead of handwritten letters.
2.Social and Values:
In contemporary time, society has different social values or norms to compare to the 18th century.
The gender roles in society must be seen differently.
3.occupation:-
In contemporary time, Pamela's occupation must be change.
In the original story, pamela is maid servant but in contemporary times, she could have a different job, like respectful jobs such as teacher, employe etc.
These changes are seen in modern time.
4.Fashion:
If pamela in modern time that her style would be modern, like jeans and top and also other things which would contrast with the historical fashion of the original story.
5.Legal and Cultural Context:
legal and cultural context would also be different. Like marriage laws, gender roles, social class, cultural values and also technology, legal protections are there in contemporary time.
6.Language and Dialogue:
The way characters speak and the language they use like modern slangs like, " hi", " hello", "what's up friends".
Overall, updating Pamela to contemporary times would involve adjusting various aspects of the story to fitting in the present-time.
In summary, if Pamela were placed in a contemporary time, her character and the storyline is totally change.
