[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not read Pamela. A quick google search led me to this description:

Pamela tells the story of a fifteen-year-old maidservant named Pamela Andrews, whose employer, Mr. B, a wealthy landowner, makes unwanted and inappropriate advances towards her after the death of his mother. Pamela strives to reconcile her strong religious training with her desire for the approval of her employer in a series of letters and, later in the novel, journal entries all addressed to her impoverished parents. After various unsuccessful attempts at seduction, a series of sexual assaults and an extended period of kidnapping, the rakish Mr. B eventually reforms and makes Pamela a sincere proposal of marriage.

This doesn’t sound like the Cinderella storyline of Bridgerton at all to me. Kidnapping, sexual assault and she’s only 15. And actually works for Mr. B. Completely different.[/quote]

Sophie actually works for Mr B here, and he has comported himself inappropriately (trying to get her to be his mistress.) Pamela is considered one the first British novels. So the plot of Season 4 can fairly be said to be a mashup of Cinderella and Pamela, at least in spirit. [/quote]

Totally disagree. Sophie was originally working for another family. She does not work for Benedict. Benedict’s mother hired her as a favor for Benedict. Benedict has not sexually assaulted or kidnapped her and she’s not 15. These were not unwelcome advances either that she resisted.[/quote]

Well there’s no fairy godmother or glass slipper so I guess Cinderella cannot be an influence either! [/quote]

There is the glove she left behind. And the countless interviews with the actors regarding the influence of Cinderella. Not one of them has mentioned Pamela though.[/quote]

What about Barry Lyndon though :)
