Description

Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility follows the lives of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love, heartbreak, and the challenges of social expectation after their family’s financial downfall. Elinor represents “sense” with her composure, restraint, and practicality, while Marianne embodies “sensibility” with her passionate, impulsive nature. Through their contrasting journeys in love and loss, Austen explores themes of reason versus emotion, social class, and the pursuit of happiness, ultimately showing the need for balance between head and heart.
