Pepys: from his diary

Matthew Nunez 1B

Pepys 1633-1703

- His diary shows us the inter workings of a late 17th century Englishman.
-One of the few diaries written in this period.
-We are able to see Pepys’ two personas; His internal and external personas.
-Time plays a very important role in his life. The development of the clock changed the way that people were able to structure their lives in terms of clock time.
-His motivation lies in two things; money and womanizing.
