Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who navigate the complexities of love and social expectations in early 19th-century England. After their father’s death, the sisters and their mother are left with limited means, forcing them to adapt to new circumstances. The novel explores themes of sense (rationality) versus sensibility (emotion) through the sisters’ different approaches to life and love.
