11. Sense and
Sensibility.
•Sense means
common
understanding .
•We use it day to day
our life.
•We saw this ability of
Elinor very well. When
she knows Edward
was already engaged
with Lucy that time
she control herself
and not lose self
confidedence . It is
very nice. So Elinor
represent the theme
of sence.

12. Sensibility.
•Sensibility means
emotional attitude.
•Marianne uses
feeling instead of
mind.
•When a person is
too emotional at
that time she could
not take right
decision . Marianne
did the same
mistakes to which
she had to pay.

13. Self Sacrifices
•Elinor especially is a model of self-sacrifices. We
saw through out the novel we saw passing
through the pain and failure of love she control
her pain, emotion, and feeling . so she was
strong character. She handle the situation so
how she protect her and her family is imported
than her own life.

14. Selfishness
When a person is too emotional at that
time she could not take right decision.
Marianne did the same mistakes to which
she had to pay. Marianne was too
emotional and she thinks about her own
life not thinks of her family and put herself
in terrible situation so we can see her
selfishness.

15. Expectations
v/s Reality
This is an especially
important theme
with regard to
Marianne and her
mother, whose
romantic characters
lead them to expect
greater drama than
actually appears.
“To wish was to
hope, and to hope
was to expect”

16. Continue
When Marianne
wants to marry with
Willoughby but he
broke her heart he
left her and she
suffers a lot . In
other side Elinore
wants to marry with
Edward but she
knew that he was
already engaged
with Lucy . So this
high expectations of
both sisters make
them turning face to
reality.
