ESSAY ON: Defoe's Crusoe & Richardson's Pamela as Bildungsroman

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: A 7 page research paper that argues that Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Samuel Richardson's Pamela are both examples of "coming of age" novels. Defoe pictures a classic tale of adventure in which a young man is tested by adversity, which leads him to a maturity that is symbolized by deepening spirituality. Richardson's female protagonist, Pamela, on the other hand, does not change as much as have her existing virtue and resolve tested. From this experience, Pamela learns that she can make her own way in the world without the protection from temptation provided by her parents. No additional sources cited.
