⁵² Some critics argue quite the opposite, that ultimately The Man of Mode repudiates libertine language and values. Lisa Berglund, for instance, maintains that Harriet and Young Bellair ‘counter rakish antagonism to constancy, affection, and honor by demonstrating that conventional morality may be, like Harriet herself, “wild, witty, lovesome, beautiful”’. J. Douglas Canfield avers that Harriet socializes ‘the great sexual energy of the highly desirable Don Juan figure,’ an alteration registered in Dorimant’s shift from libertine to religious language. See Lisa Berglund, ‘The Language of the Libertines: Subversive Morality in The Man of Mode’, SEL 30 (1990), 369–86, at 37; and J. Douglas Canfield, Word as Bond in English Literature from the Middle Ages to the Restoration (Philadelphia, 1989), 114.
