By examining sentiment in Clarissa, L'Education sentimentale, The Portrait of a Lady, Wuthering Heights, Imitation of Life, Sally Jessy Raphael, and Rescue 911, Hinton (English, The City College of New York) shows sympathetic sentiments to be cultural formulations of male desire, and sympathy to be the embodiment of a controlling gaze.
