Summary: "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate romantic relationships, societal expectations, and financial hardships following their father's death. Their contrasting personalities provide a lens through which the themes of sense (practicality and restraint) and sensibility (emotion and passion) are explored. The opening of the novel introduces the Dashwood family and sets the stage for their transition from the comfort of Norland Park to a more uncertain future. With the death of Mr. Dashwood, his estate passes to his son from a previous marriage, leaving Elinor, Marianne, and their mother, Mrs. Dashwood, in a precarious financial situation. The reading of the will reveals the disappointment in their inheritance, prompting Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters to relocate to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, where the complexities of their new lives begin to unfold, highlighting their distinct characteristics and differing approaches to love and life.
