How does Jane Austen show "sense or sensibility" as a character trait? Explain your answer in terms of the characters Elinor and Marianne. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Jane Austen demonstrates Sense and sensibility as a character trait through Marianne and Elinor. Sense is to represent the logical and realistic view of life, which Elinor completely displays. Because Elinor embodies the ideal of Sense she is also subject to concealing her emotions and not letting them guide her at all. Marianne demonstrates the term sensibility because she often views life in an unrealistic was as her emotions are the only thing that guides her through life. As the novel progresses you start to see how both girls transform and realize the dangers of only displaying either sense or sensibility opposed to a combination of both

This is what i put on my odyssey

I have found the novel Sense and Sensibility interesting so far. Jane Austen shows what life was like during that time in England for a woman. Woman were not allowed to express their opinion or their thoughts during that time, but Jane Austen is really expressing her thoughts though the characters like Elinor and and Marianne in the novel. Elinor and Marianne represent the title of the novel as well. Elinor is the Sense through her reasoning and thoughtful of other people while her young sister Marianne represents the Sensibility since she is more about passion. Marianne only is interested falling in love with a man who feels the same the way about certain things as she does which is why she is drawn to Willoughby. Elinor cares for others including Colonel Brandon who has deep for Marianne, who think that Colonel Brandon is too old even though he is only thirty-five and Elinor warns her sister that her open feelings for Willoughby will cause gossip. Overall, Jane Austen has done good showing a women's feelings during this time through Elinor and Marianne and the novel itself keeps getting more interesting as I go along.
