Sense and Sensibility Concept Map Essentials
Sense and Sensibility (1811) follows the Dashwood sisters after their father's death and the loss of their home. Elinor, the elder, represents sense: restraint, reason and self-control. Marianne, the younger, represents sensibility: strong feeling, romantic idealism and open emotion. Most of the plot tests how each sister's approach works in love, money and social life.
