Define: the sexual interest or practice of spying on people engaging in intimate behaviours undressing, sex, etc. This person is sexually pleased by spying on these people engaging in activities of a sexual nature. Princess de cleves sets the duke de nemours up and sees him steal a portrait of her. This idea is very important as having a portrait of someone in this day and age was rare, as they were expensive to create. He later locks himself up with it and stares at it, longing for her. This can be seen as a fetishizing as he stares at a portrait of a women whom he longs for. As he cannot fix his eyes upon her, he fixes them upon the portrait. Aeneas once sat, fetishizing the thought and feel of him. Dido sits in the same spot that aeneas once sat, fetishizing about the thought of him.
