Talk:Clarissa

message: This "article" (which originally came verbatim from the Samuel Richardson article) reads like a book report. I've done a (very) little copyediting, but was unable to improve it much. Hence I append the following notice. - dcljr (talk) 06:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I edited the synopsis the other week (sorry for not commenting at the time) as it contained the glaring inaccuracy of claiming that Clarissa is successfully forced into a marriage by her family, when in fact she runs away just before they can do so.  It's generally a fairly poor synopsis, I suspect the author had not read the novel.  For instance, it implies that Lovelace is forced into raping Clarissa, and also that the rape directly causes her death.  Clarissa dies of a lingering illness which is not named, although judging from her symptoms and behaviour the most likely modern diagnosis would be anorexia (this theory is controversial).  Most characters and events are left out.  I could possibly do a better job given a little time, I'm currently on my third reading of the text and will be running an online reading group for it in January.
