Notes

"Sense and Sensibility" is a novel written by Jane Austen, first published in 1811. The story revolves around the contrasting lives of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, as they navigate the challenges of love, social expectations, and financial stability in 19th-century England. Elinor represents the 'sense' of the title, with her practical and rational nature, while Marianne embodies the 'sensibility,' being passionate and emotionally expressive. The novel explores the balance between these two qualities and delves into themes of societal norms and individual choices. It is a classic work of literature that showcases Austen's keen insight into human character and the complexities of relationships.
