W orthy Companions: Assurance Through Association in  Evelina and Young W erther (Patrick McEvoy-Halston: 10 March 2005) Evelina, in Frances Burney’s  Evelina, and Werther, in Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe’s Young Werther, might easily be thought of as very different from one another, for they seem to associate themselves with very diff erent kinds of people. W e note that Evelina is very careful to associate herself with those who will help differentiate herself from the lowly, the base, while W erther actually seeks them out in an effort to differentiate himself from exactly those sorts of sensitive people that Evelina seeks to associate herself wi th. However, both characters are similar in that they both seek to distance themselves from those they gauge coarse and to attach themselves to those they gauge superior, and we therefore have cause to think of them both as equally artful equals whom we may have much to learn from. After Evelina’ s first social outing in London, Mrs. Mirvan relates to Lovel, Lord Orville, and Sir Clement’s assessment of her behaviour. Since Evelina, as much as Mrs. Mirvan, essentially eavesdrops on them, we are provided with evidence here which suggests that Evelina’s desire to know what others think of her is such that it can overpower her desire to appear well bred—and this is saying a lot, since, as we will explore, Evelina’s desire to convince herself that she is sensible, or well bred, is very strong indeed. Evelina attends most closely to how Lord Orville’s judged her . In the letter in which she informs Mr. V illars of their assessments of her, she ruminates (for the moment) only on those words Lord Orville used to describe her  —“‘A poor weak girl!’ ‘ignorant or mischievous!’” (40)—and for good reason, since Lord Orville is characterized as exactly the sort of gentleman wh ose good opinion most mattered in eighteenth-century English society . Paul Gordon Scott argues that the social order in eighteenth-cen tury England required the intimidating presence of superior, singular gentlemen who, along with ideal manners, possessed a penetrating “voyeuristic gaze that disciplines subjects by observing them” (88). Gordon argues
