Taking Clarissa and Velazquez`s Las Meninas into my interpretative horizon, this paper aims to visualize the hallucinatory effect of Lovelace`s fascinating but perverted self-reflexive vision, and to examine the way in which Lovelace`s vision becomes shattered by Clarissa`s gaze (tears). There is a structural homology between Clarissa and Las Meninas, in the sense that both of them impressively aestheticize the artistic self-reflexivity, the eye (vision) and the gaze, (self)-representation, and the mirror effect. Through their masterful execution of those features, the two works exquisitely create a hallucinatory effect that engulfs the reader (viewer) in the art. In Clarissa, Clarissa`s hymen, evoking the role of the mirror of Las Meninas, is an alluring object of Lovelace`s self-contradictory vision, which seeks to idealize her hymen as his sublime artistic object, simultaneously attempting to dominate it by violating its virtue. Lovelace`s violation of Clarissa`s hymen, tantamount to the breaking of the mirror in the imaginary space between Clarissa and Las Meninas, arguably results in the shattering of his perverted vision. In exploring and visualizing the way in which Lovelace`s vision becomes ruined. Lacan`s ideas on the antinomy between the eye and the gaze are crucial. In the Lacanian formula, the eye (the vision) belongs to the side of the eye of the subject; on the contrary, the gaze belongs to the realm of the Other, which the subject can never subsume or objectify. Such a gaze can dismantle the solid self-centered identity of the subject, whose vision voraciously seeks to dominate the Other. In this formula, when the gaze appears in the scopic field, the vision (eye) is shattered. After the rape, Clarissa`s broken hymen (mirror) turns into her tears (teardrops and torn hymen). Clarissa`s tears, then, become the flash of the gaze, which ultimately crushes the artistic power of Lovelace`s voracious and unilateral vision. Therein lies the fundamental difference between the artistic realm of Lovelace`s vision and that of Las Meninas. In contrast to Las Meninas, whichcan achieve the masterful execution of the split between the eye and the gaze, Lovelace`s vision, shattered by the emergence of Clarissa`s invisible gaze, becomes ultimately finalized as his death that is nearly a suicide.
