Sense and Sensibility is a novel by the English novelist Jane Austen, that was first published in 1811. It was the first of Austens novels to be published, under the pseudonym "A Lady". The novel has been adapted for film and television a number of times, most notably in Ang Lees 1995 version. Plot introduction Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters with opposite temperaments.

Traditionally, it has been viewed that 19 year old Elinor, the elder daughter, represents "sense" (reason) of the title, and Marianne , who is 17, represents "sensibility" (emotion). However this view is a very restricting one. On close inspection of the novel it can be seen that each sister represents different aspects of each characteristic.Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwood by his second wife. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother named John. When their father dies, the family estate passes to John and the Dashwood women are left impoverished.
