John is a footman who carries most of Pamela’s letters back to her mother and father in the first part of the book. Although Pamela feels a lot of gratitude toward John for helping her stay connected to her parents, John is actually helping Mr. B spy on her by reading and even failing to deliver some of her letters. John is an example of a good man who gets corrupted due to his master’s influence, and so after Pamela helps reform Mr. B, John also gets redemption.
