Clarissa Harlowe; or the history of a young lady — Volume 6
Julie C. Sparks and David Widger
"Clarissa Harlowe; or the History of a Young Lady — Volume 6" by Samuel Richardson is a novel written during the early 18th century. It continues the tragic tale of the titular character, Clarissa Harlowe, exploring themes of virtue, seduction, and the complexities of human morality. The narrative is primarily driven by the tumultuous interactions between Clarissa and the unscrupulous Lovelace, as well as her struggles against societal expectations and familial pressures. The beginning of this volume reveals Lovelace in a conflicted state, grappling with his intentions toward Clarissa as he vacillates between his desires and his conscience. He writes letters to his friend Belford, outlining his schemes and the psychological turmoil he faces regarding his romantic pursuits. Lovelace reflects on his past actions and the impact they have had on Clarissa, who remains resolute in her rejection of him. Lovelace’s manipulation and the tension between love and control set the stage for the emotional and dramatic conflicts that underpin this installment, illustrating the contrasting ideals of virtue and libertinism.
