Sense and Sensibility + Audio CD Step Five B2.2

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters. Both are intelligent, sensitive, charming, and beautiful, but there the similarities end. Elinor values propriety and common sense; Marianne, by contrast, has extravagant Romantic ideas. In this brilliant novel, Jane Austen explores two different ways of thinking and acting – the ‘sense’ of Elinor and the ‘sensibility’ of Marianne – as they try to find happiness in a world full of hypocrisy, vulgarity, and self-interest.
