Sense and Sensibility follows the romantic and self exploration of two sisters after the tragic death of their father. Where Elinor is more prone to reason (Sense), Marianne gives way to her emotions (Sensibility), creating a contrasting depiction of love in a disproportionate society.
The duplication of events in such a polarizing way highlights incredible writing by Jane Austen, especially admirable as this is believed to be her debut adult fiction. The characters too are fleshed out and understandable, even when written in another century! While some may find it slow, Sense and Sensibility is an incredibly smart book, I cannot wait to continue into Jane Austen’s literary catalog, with Persuasion up next!
