Sense and Sensibility Review:

Friday, August 21, 2009




Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor´s warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love- and its threatened loss- the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.


This novel is an excellent introduction to Jane Austen's works because of its relative simplicity, Austen is a romantic writer.In Sense and Sensibility there are two different views of love that you will explore throughout the novel. In this novel, tow women fall in love in opposite ways. Some think with their heads while others think with their hearts, it is such a delightful book.
