 Sims - Repentance in Clarissa
While it is clear that Clarissa is implicated in mimetic conflicts and that she participates in the strategic interplay that is a consequence of mediated desire, her final acts of repentance and forgiveness reflect a renunciation of mimetic desire.
Clarissa's conscious appeal to a divine mediator is literalized in her meditations; they dramatize a renunciation of pride, and an acknowledgment of the radical interiority of sin.

 Samuel Richardson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richardson had been an established printer and publisher for most of his life when, at the age of 51, he wrote his first novel — and immediately became one of the most popular and admired writers of his time.
Of the three, Clarissa has generally been the most highly regarded by critics; in it, Richardson uses the epistolary form with great effectiveness, creating characters that are psychologically convincing while reflecting on some of the most important moral questions of the 18th century.
Many modern critics have found that he was less successful here, noting that Sir Charles is not a very interesting or sympathetic character and that his confident sense of virtue can be cloying to the modern reader.

 Samuel Richardson
Samuel Johnson praised Clarissa as "the first book in the world for the knowledge it displays of the human heart." Fielding admired Richardson's portrayal of character and was moved to compassion, terror, grief and astonishment by Clarissa (Fielding's letter to Richardson).
Thus, though the epistolary technique of Clarissa did not survive in the mainstream of the English novel, it is currently acknowledged as a forerunner of the stream of consciousness technique and the interior monologue.
Clarissa was reinterpreted in yet another, often non-literary way; a variety of political meanings have been seen in it—or sometimes read into it.

Courtesy of Belford, we have the entire plot of Clarissa, reduced for 1500 pages to two dozen lines.
Clarissa, the most magnificent imagining of virtue in distress in sentimental literature, extends "virtue" beyond chastity to something larger--a nobleness of soul that both dooms the heroine (in her innocence) and sporadically protects her (through the awe she inspires).
Her virtue is equated with Lovelace's claimed "honor," which in this passage suggests that the male equivalent of that nobleness of soul would show itself in the hero's eagerness to protect female virtue.

He opens with a preamble on physiognomic interpretation, asserting that in the case of Clarissa, appearance and reality are one and the same: her body and dress are not mere external trappings, but are her person, her soul, made manifest.
In his physiological descriptions, Lovelace contrasts Clarissa's delicacy to her hardiness-- the constitutional weakness that leads her to sink into a faint is at the same time the source of her virtue.
