Sense and Sensibility follows the contrasting lives of the Dashwood sisters as they navigate love, loss, and social expectations in early 19th-century England. After being unfairly deprived of their inheritance, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, along with their mother, are forced to leave their family estate and adjust to a modest life in Devonshire. Marianne, emotional and impulsive, quickly falls for the dashing John Willoughby, while Elinor, reserved and rational, quietly suffers heartbreak of her own. As their stories unfold, the sisters confront betrayal, disappointment, and the tension between emotion and reason. Through resilience and personal growth, they come to understand that true happiness lies in balance, integrity, and inner strength. Jane Austen’s debut novel is a timeless portrayal of family bonds, romantic ideals, and moral insight, delivered with elegance and sharp wit.
