Specifications
Dynamic and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the exact opposite of her reserved and prudent sister, Elinor. Thus, when Marianne falls in love with the dashing but reckless John Willoughby, she ignores her sister's warning about restraint and patience. Elinor, on the other hand, stoically faces her beloved's decision to abandon her and struggles to hide her own romantic disappointment, even from her close ones. Through the experience of love and the threat of losing it, the two sisters learn that reason must be combined with sensitivity and emotion in order to achieve personal happiness in a society where money and social status govern and even dictate the fate of love. The first significant novel of 19th-century English literature is beyond a coming-of-age story and a delightful "comedy of errors." With subtle irony and slight sarcasm, the author reveals the hypocrisy that permeates the aristocracy and the morals of England at that time, describing the struggle of the two very different sisters to live with dignity without renouncing their humanity and feelings.
