Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters both of which are intelligent sensitive charming and beautiful. In this brilliant story Jane Austen explores two different ways of thinking the `sense` of Elinor and the `sensibility` of Marianne. Elinor values propriety and common sense she is prudent and cautious with a strong sense of duty. Marianne is a wild romantic never acting or thinking in a moderate way. In their lives full of love and uncertainity the sisters had to overcome problems through their own abilities.
