Yoggoth's thoughts on Richardson's Pamela

All I can think of while I read it is various Victorian people masturbating privately to the attempted rape scenes and then comforting themselves with its pseudo-morality at the end. Although the antagonist comes across as an asshole, you still kinda feel yourself rooting for him to do the deed so Pamela will stop whining about her 'virtue' which she would rather die than lose. What would Ayn Rand say???
