Fantomina by Eliza Haywood

"Supper being over, which was intermixed with a vast deal of amorous Conversation, he began to explain himself more than he had done; and both by his Words and Behavior let her know, he would not be denied that Happiness the Freedoms she allow'd had made him hope. - But that he little regarded, or if he had, would have been far from obliging him to desist;"

In this full excerpt of Fantomina, Haywood uses capitalization and punctuation to emphasize emotion. Within the first sentence, Haywood uses the word "Conversation" in the middle of the sentence yet, it is capitalized. This is to show emphasis on what Fantomina was feeling as in saying, not just conversation but conversation with a capital C. The same goes for "Words", "Behavior", "Happiness", and "Freedoms", just as some examples. Haywood does the same when she uses a dash in between her words and sentences. This is to show a pause of thought and an emphasis on anxiety that Fantomina is feeling as this is happening to her. By Haywood using both punctuation and capitalization, she shows the reader what Fantomina is feeling, but also allows the reader to get inside of the mind of Fantomina.
