Sense and Sensibility

'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

„Cu cat stiu mai multe despre lume, cu atat sunt mai convins ca nu voi vedea niciodata un om pe care sa-l iubesc cu adevarat. Am nevoie de atat de multe! ”Marianne Dashwood isi poarta inima pe maneca si, atunci cand se indragosteste de dementul, dar nepotrivit John Willoughby, ignora avertismentul surorii sale Elinor ca comportamentul ei impulsiv o lasa deschisa la barfe si insinuari.
