AB  - Identifies Venus's gaze as fascinum, "the mental projection of one's thoughts, desires and imagination onto something or someone," in this case, Adonis. Suggests that "Venus's ocular power...disrupts the gender dynamics, ultimately causing Adonis psychological distress and leading to his tragic demise." English summary, 347.
