This research delves into the realm of 18th-century European literature, focusing on the evolving gender roles depicted in seminal works such as Samuel Richardson's "Pamela" and Frances Burney's "Evelina". It examines the societal expectations and limitations imposed upon men and women during this era, particularly through the lens of literature. Moreover, it explores the common themes shared between "Pamela" and "Evelina", emphasizing the characters' struggles against societal norms and their quest for agency and autonomy. The analysis extends beyond these individual works to contextualize them within the broader landscape of 18th-century literature, drawing comparisons with other notable novels such as Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre", Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", and Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto". By doing so, it elucidates recurring themes of gender, social class, agency, morality, and social commentary prevalent in the literature of the time. Furthermore, the research contrasts the gender roles depicted in 18th-century literature with contemporary perspectives, tracing the evolution of gender norms through the 19th and 20th centuries, marked by industrialization, feminist movements, and changes in family structures. Despite notable progress towards gender equality, the study acknowledges persisting challenges such as the gender pay gap and underrepresentation in leadership roles.
