Elinor falls in love with Edward Ferrars, but a future together seems impossible when she discovers that he is secretly engaged to Lucy Steele. Marianne, meanwhile, falls for the charming John Willoughby, who unexpectedly leaves her and later marries a wealthy woman.<\/p><p>Both sisters are therefore forced to reconsider their ideas about love. Elinor learns to allow herself to express her feelings more openly, while Marianne realises that passion alone does not guarantee a reliable relationship. In the end, Elinor finds happiness with Edward, while Marianne marries Colonel Brandon.<\/p><h2>The main characters<\/h2><p><strong>Elinor Dashwood<\/strong><\/p><p>Elinor is the eldest of the Dashwood sisters and represents the \u201csense\u201d in the novel\u2019s title: reason, self-control and a strong sense of responsibility. She considers the consequences of her actions and tries to support her mother and sisters even in difficult situations.<br \/>This does not mean that Elinor feels less deeply than Marianne. Her feelings for Edward are equally strong. Unlike her sister, however, she rarely shows her pain outwardly. This is also one of her weaknesses: Her self-control protects those around her, but it often leaves her dealing with her problems alone.<\/p><p><strong>Marianne Dashwood<\/strong><\/p><p>Marianne represents \u201csensibility\u201d, meaning emotionality and sensitivity. She loves music and literature, believes in great romantic feelings and sees little reason to hide emotions simply to conform to social expectations.<\/p><p>Her relationship with Willoughby initially seems to embody her ideal of love. His rejection therefore affects her deeply. Over the course of the novel, Marianne develops a more nuanced understanding of her own emotions. She does not lose her passion, but learns to combine it with greater reason.<\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Edward Ferrars<\/span><\/b><\/p><p>Edward Ferrars is Fanny Dashwood\u2019s brother and Elinor\u2019s great love. Unlike many other characters, he has little interest in social status or wealth. Instead of pursuing the prestigious career his family has planned for him, he wants a quieter life.<\/p><p>His relationship with Elinor is complicated by a secret from his past: Years earlier, he became engaged to Lucy Steele. Although his feelings have changed, he feels bound by his promise.<\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Lucy Steele<\/span><\/b><\/p><p>Lucy Steele is intelligent, ambitious and socially skilled. She comes from less wealthy circumstances and knows that a financially advantageous marriage could significantly improve her social position. She reveals her secret engagement to Edward specifically to Elinor. While Elinor and Marianne are strongly guided by their emotions, Lucy pursues her own interests in a much more strategic way.<\/p><p><strong>Colonel Brandon<\/strong><\/p><p>Colonel Brandon is a wealthy former officer who develops feelings for Marianne early on. At first, she considers him too old, serious and unromantic. Over the course of the novel, however, Brandon proves himself to be reliable, helpful and loyal. This makes him a clear contrast to Willoughby and shows that reliability can be more important than grand romantic gestures.<\/p><p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">John Willoughby<\/span><\/b><\/p><p>John Willoughby initially appears to be the perfect romantic hero. He is charming, attractive and shares Marianne\u2019s interests. Later, however, it becomes clear that a romantic appearance does not necessarily go hand in hand with responsible behaviour. His decisions and his past make him an important contrast to Colonel Brandon.<\/p><h2>Themes and interpretations<\/h2><p><strong>The role of women<\/strong><\/p><p><em>Sense and Sensibility<\/em> clearly shows how strongly women\u2019s lives were shaped by financial security, social status and marriage.<\/p><p>After their father\u2019s death, the Dashwood women lose their previous standard of living and have to find a new way forward. Marriage is therefore not only a romantic decision, but often an economic one as well. Austen highlights how limited women\u2019s opportunities for self-determination were at the time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1923e03 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1923e03\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f115625\" data-id=\"f115625\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdde4bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-grin-publications-single-publication-widget\" data-id=\"fdde4bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"grin-publications-single-publication-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box publications-single-publication\">\n    <div class=\"contentarea\">\n        <p class=\"h2-like\"><\/p>\n        <div class=\"single-publication-widget-area\">\n            <div class=\"slide-item\">\r\n<div class=\"tabcontent-column\">\r\n<div class=\"tabcontent-column-content-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grin.com\/document\/205155\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.openpublishing.com\/images\/cover\/brand\/e-book\/1\/205155_normal.jpg\" alt=\"Female Protagonists in Jane Austen's \"Sense and Sensibility\" and Frances Burney's \"Evelina\"\" \/><\/a>Female Protagonists in Jane Austen's \"Sense and Sensibility\" and Frances Burney's \"Evelina\"\r\n\r\n<strong>15.99 \u20ac<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-191a997\" data-id=\"191a997\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9b3928 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9b3928\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The GRIN paper <em>Female Protagonists in Jane Austen\u2019s Sense and Sensibility and Frances Burney\u2019s Evelina<\/em> examines the portrayal of female characters in Austen and Burney from a feminist perspective.
