WARNING, SPOILER: Clarissa is hounded by an evil young man whos see her, at first, as nothing more than a challenge. then he is obsessed in possessing her even if it means sullying her honor and breaking her spirit. Toward the end of the movie, after many twists and turns, when it is clear that she wants nothing to do with him, and rapes her while others hold her down, something I didn't expect at all. She feels so violated, that she wills herself to die. I hated the story so much that I regret viewing it. Had I known about the rape scene I would not have wasted my time watching this. Silly me in believing that virture will always triumph--certainly not in this story. If you love Jane Austen and all that her heroines stand for, then don't waste your time on this story.
