Description

By all accounts and with proven results, it is no wonder that Samuel Richardson's Pamela has been associated with the emergence of human rights by scholars such as Lynn Hunt. It was important throughout our analysis to look at formal realism on the one hand because mind-reading and the removal of the authorial presence in the narrative of Pamela invite readers' participation and thus create a realistic atmosphere as one proceeds with the narration. On the other hand, looking at the effect of the experiencing self and the to the moment writing of Richardson permit to acknowledge the importance of writing that seems authentic and original, a story that wasn't invented but comes directly from the main protagonist's mind. Empathy we have seen is a core element that allows the rise of human rights because empathetic devices such as character identification and the narrative situation of keen make it point that all humans are capable to recognize the sorrow of their fellow beings. This was confirmed in the Routledge Companion to Literature and Human Rights in which empathy is said to promote rights, NGOs around the world see narrative empathy as one of their powerful tools (428). All theses narrative devices have helped to evaluate with Hunt the influence of Pamela not only in England but also in France. Human rights in the eighteen-century flourished because through novels reading such as that Richardson, readers learned to think of others as their equals, as like them in some fundamental fashion. According to Hunt, they learned this equality, at least in part, by experiencing identification with ordinary characters who seemed dramatically present and familiar, even if ultimately fictional (589). The aim of this analysis was not only to recognized the role played by the early novel Pamela in helping shape a fairer world during the eighteen century, but also to points out the most important role of literature that is to make the world a better place for all races and nationalities.
