Quote

“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.”

Notes

Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" takes readers into the refined yet constrained world of the English gentry during the early 19th century. The novel's descriptions transport readers to the genteel country estates and drawing rooms where the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, navigate the complexities of love, social expectations, and financial security. Austen's narrative elegantly explores the themes of love, prudence, and the balance between emotional restraint (sense) and passionate impulsiveness (sensibility). The characters, including the sensible and stoic Elinor, her romantic and impulsive sister Marianne, and a host of well-drawn supporting characters, offer a window into the strictures of class, courtship, and personal integrity in a society defined by social norms and decorum. Austen's masterful storytelling underscores the enduring relevance of these themes and the enduring appeal of "Sense and Sensibility" as a classic work of literature.
