Sense and Sensibility

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters, yet their temperaments are in stark contrast to one another. Elinor, governed by reason and restraint, embodies the quiet strength of sense, while her younger sister, Marianne, embraces life with passion and abandon, guided by sensibility. Following their father''s death, the Dashwoods must contend with the uncertain ground of love, loss and societal expectation. As Marianne suffers the anguish of a broken heart, Elinor quietly hides her feelings beneath a veil of propriety.
