In “Sense and Sensibility,” Jane Austen masterfully portrays the contrasting lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century England, the novel explores themes of heartache, societal expectations, and the delicate balance between logic and emotion. Elinor’s quiet strength and Marianne’s passionate spirit offer a rich tapestry of human experience. I found myself deeply moved by their journeys, feeling every twist and turn as if I were part of their world.
It is not what we think or feel that makes us who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do.
