A Psychological Study of Samuel Richardson's Pamela from a Freudian Perspective

This study focuses on the characters' struggle to hide and suppress their emotions, thoughts, desires, and impulses and to restore their psychological steadiness in the face of anxiety-inducing situations. An exploration of Freudian concepts such as the "Anxiety and Ego Defense Mechanisms" and "Tripartite Psyche" are examined in this research.  This study aims to investigate the psyches of the heroine, Pamela, and her master Mr. B. by examining the contents of the heroine's unconscious mind as revealed through her letters.
