Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen Book Summary

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen, and was her first published work when it appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym "A Lady". A work of romantic fiction, better known as a comedy of manners, Sense and Sensibility is set in southwest England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797,[1] and portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The novel follows the young ladies to their new home, a meagre cottage on a distant relative's property, where they experience love, romance and heartbreak. The philosophical resolution of the novel is ambiguous: the reader must decide whether sense and sensibility have truly merged.

Not as good as Pride & Prejudice. Took me a while to get through because there were several boring parts... did not end how I expected it, so that was interesting, but still not as enchanting as P&P.

Austen’s Best. Exciting, interesting. But also very plausible and provides more insight into the character of the villains.

Sense and sensibility. A good book, it keeps your interest

Sensible. This book really held my interest, and I became especially intrigued when I learned that Willoughby and Edward were double players. An excellent read.

Sense and Sensibility. Had a sort of ehhh ending but I loved how different Elinor and Marianne were!!

Complaining. Most of the book was spent reading about all the complaints of the main characters. I listen to enough complaints in my life without having to read about it for most of the book.

Sentiments Hold True. A timeless reflection on society, relationships, and expectations.

One of the best. One of the best Austen books. The depth of the emotions and experiences of the characters are relatable today. I love this story.

The Dashwood Sisters Find Their Beaus. I did grasp the concept of keeping emotions in check (having good social sense) and behaving in a way in private so that futures could have a chance (sensibility). I enjoyed the book and the idea of romance and future life being a dominant feature of a young lady’s life. However, the characters of Willoughby and Robert were somewhat cloaked in mystery to me. Willoughby’s painful explanation to Elinor toward the end of the book of his poor treatment of her sister Marianne did not seem plausible. And certainly Robert rushing and marrying Lucy after his brother was ostracized from the family for being engaged to Lucy is unexplainable. But, those are the ways of love and marriage. It was good to see Elinor happily married to her Edward, and Marianne to Colonel Brandon.

👍🏻👍🏻. Very well written, and very similar to Sense and Sensibility.

Very Happy with the Ending!. I’m so glad that they triumphed through so many hardships to get what they deserved. I observe Marianne as one who was too finicky to truly deserve anything, but I think through her elder sister’s experience and behaviour, how to act accordingly, and Elinor finally got to show some real sensitivity when speaking to her sister’s former suitor. This book brought upon me many feelings of poignancy but at the same time bliss for the happiness of the characters.

I don’t know. I have read other Jane Austin books, and I have loved them, I like her writing style and the stories she portrays, but I got bored with this book and honestly I could not finish it.

Sense and sensibility. Wonderful. Fabulous. Jane Austen has done it again!

So-so... the female characters were well-written, the male ones not so much.. A bit long; did not love the Edward-Elinor final connection, nor Marianne with Colonel Brandon. It should have been Elinor with Colonel Brandon. I hated how Lucy got everything she wanted- but alas, so realistic! What i failed to understand was how Elinor was so in love with Edward, a pretty good-for-nothing individual, with nothing much to his character, who treated her so unwell (by disregarding her feelings altogether and didn’t care how she would be affected throughout, until the very end when Lucy did him dirty like that). That he indulged her and himself while he was committed to another shows a flaw in his character which once more proves his weakness and lack of integrity. How Elinor immediately just accepted him, took Lucy’s hand-me-downs, after he had given up everything for Lucy*- is beyond me. I thought she would have had higher standards for herself, as she really had a great character. It could have ended better, way better. The character of Marianne is just great! I love how honest she is and how she refuses to be fake, even in her circumstances! I thought she deserved to end up with someone who yes would be a slow, steady and growing love, but someone other than Colonel Brandon (who frankly shouldn’t have set his sights on her for “propriety’s sake and also because too much resemblance with Eliza Brandon). She should have ended up with a new character to whom we hadn’t been introduced as yet. As for Colonel Brandon, if he had gone for Elinor it would have been the equivalent in what is would signify for him as Marianne’s marriage to himself (only slightly more appropriate because of the age difference and because of Marianne’s complete disregard of him as a potential candidate for her love and utter, unabashed rejection of him). But Austen remains a great descriptor of characters and through their words, one is able to infer so much on each character’s psyche. I especially liked that Elinor was no fool in relation to Lucy and the rest of them, and was in fact an avid and perceptive character.
