Sense and Sensibility follows the contrasting lives of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love, heartbreak, and societal expectations in early 19th-century England. Elinor, the embodiment of sense, values reason, restraint, and propriety, while Marianne, representing sensibility, is ruled by passion, emotion, and romantic idealism. Through their experiences with love — including disappointment, betrayal, and eventual self-discovery — Austen explores the balance between emotion and logic, personal happiness and social obligation. With wit and subtle irony, the novel critiques the limited roles of women and the importance of wealth and marriage in determining one's fate.Jane Austen
