Yep. Henry Fielding, the author of Tom Jones wrote two satire of Richardson's Pamela. One was called Shamela, and it was a collection of letters showing Pamela to be conniving and manipulative. The other was the story of Pamela's brother. I haven't read that in ages, but if I remember correctly, he wanted to show what a truly virtuous person would do in Pamela's circumstances. Basically, since there were no laws against sexual harassment at the time, it was to get out and try to find another job.
