Beschreibungen/Notizen
According to Warner, it is because it is Clarissa who ultimately wins this competition that we read the novel not as a comedy (as Lovelace would like us to), but as a tragedy wherein everyone has a hand in the heroine's mysterious death. "7 In other words, because no one is directly responsible for Clarissa's death, everyone is indirectly responsible. [...]unlike the Watt line of criticism that seeks to individuate actions and their authors, Warner's deconstructionism sees in Clarissa's death a transpersonal action in which the novel's characters are all complicit.
