Sense and sensibility（理智与情感）

The next I will introduce another works of Jane Austen to you ——sense and sensibility, whose original name is “Elinor and Marrianne”. To emphasize the theme, it had modified to be “sense and sensibility” before it. Therefore, we can know that Elinor and Marianne are the core character of this text from the title.

The text tell us a family story, after the old owner of Norland park—Herry Dashwood passed away, his only son by his former wife-John Dashwood inherited Norland park and leaving his present wife and their three daughters, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret. Elinor had an excellent heart- her disposition was affectionate and her feelings were strong, but she knew how to govern them. Marianne was sensible and clever; but eager in everything, who could have no moderation, but was generous, amiable and interesting. She was everything but prudent. The resemblance between her and her mother was strikingly great. It was well known that no affection was ever supposed to exist between the children of any man by diffeerent marriages. What’s more, John’s wife-Fanny Ferrars, who is so snobbish and mean that John obey her advice. Soon after, these girls were drived away their home. With the help of their relatives, they moves into a

village-Barton cottage. But before they leaved Norland park, there is a episode there. Fanny’s little brother Edward Ferrars has a visit to Norland park, who was introduced to their sisters. Edward is a gentlmen and pleasing young man. Surprisingly, there was a growing attachment between Edward and Ellinor. Because of the difference of their status, Elinor always restrained her feelings. Ventually, they leaved Norland park with many regrets and look for a new life.

In Barton cottage, they are widely popular with native people and soon acquainced with many friends. The most noticable person is colonel Brandon- he was silent and grave. His appearance however was not unpleasing. He is thirty-five years old,though his face was not handsome, his countenance was sensible, and his address was particularly. They just met, but he’s fallen in love with Marrianne. Marrianne thought he is too old to accept him. In Marrianne’s eyes, the person like him so old can’t met true love. After few months, Marrianne come across Willoughby in a rain day. When her fact had been twisted in her fall, who is youth, beauty and elegant, their taste was strikingly alike. The same books, the same passages were idolized by each. Marrianne thought he was a man of good abilities, quick imagination, living spirits and open affectionate manners. He was exactly formed to engage Marrianne’s heart. They are so intimate that all off them are sure she will be married to Willoughby very soon. Unfortunately, willoughby was sent to London on business for a year. Therefore, they have to separated for the time being. On the other hand, Lucy Steels told Elinor a truth secretly. She has been engaged with Edward for four years. Hearing the news, Elinor struggled against the oppression of her feelings. As was expected, Mrs Ferries strongly objected to their marriage. Edward was deprived of the right of succession. Elinor tried her best to supply a proper position for Edward. But lucy should abandoned skint Edward quickly married to Edward’s brother. Eventually, free Edward realized the sound of his heart and came back to found Elinor again. They have a happy ending.

Let's turn back Willoughby and Marrianne, after willoughby left barton cottage, Marrianne is so heart broken. Because of a series of coincidence, Elinor and Marrianne have a chance to go London, but this journal is so disappointing. In London, Marrianne know clearly about Willoughby.
