BrandonWilloughby

Elinor and Marianne as main character represent the dichotomy suggested by the title.

Elinor ,the older sister ,acts always with reason, restraint, prudence and all around level headedness.

The younger sister Marianne acts with passion, emotion, intensity and impulsiveness.

The two are opposites but with subtle blending Elinor displays emotional care and Marianne is not entirely oblivious to the need to be proper at time.

Conti……

Sense and Sensibility it’s a really interesting novel . Because is a love story about two younger sister and the man they fall in love with.

At the end also happy ending.
