Sense and Sensibility, a novel by the famous writer Jane Austen is a contrast between two sisters, Marianne and Elinor in character. Marianne is the epitome of emotion, openness and ardour; she experiences love at first sight in the novel, and therefore represents “sensibility”. Elinor, on the other hand, manifest’s prudence, self-control and discretion; she represents “sense” in the novel, though she has a few disappointments of her own. ...
Throughout this novel, the author Jane Austen has managed to convey the message of sense and sensibility. ... This is shown with the sisters Marianne and Elinor, where Elinor is emotional, with strong feelings and controls it; and Marianne is enthusiastic and quite open with her feelings leading to sensibility. ... This shows the consequences of too much sensibility displayed by Marianne in her fast-paced relationship with Willoughby while he visited at Barton Park.
I think that Sense and Sensibility is a wonderful book and I recommend it to older readers, who will be able to understand its complexities, the lessons that it teaches and have the ability to look into the big picture of what Jane Austen is trying to say.
