Clarissa Harlowe, or the History of a Young Lady Volume 1 Letter XXII
In which the ingenuous Clarissa receives a letter from Mr. Lovelace, whose bold propositions and insinuations compel her to reflect upon the deceit and artifice often employed by suitors, while she remains painfully aware of the watchful eyes and intrigues surrounding her. She finds herself grievously constrained by her family’s control, particularly her brother’s disdainful refusals that deepen her distress and sense of entrapment, all the while yearning for the simple solace of attending church.
