Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters presented in Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility. Elinor represents "sense", as she is prudent and guided by honor and duty. Marianne represents "sensibility" as she is emotional and romantic, expressing her feelings openly. While both sisters face challenges in finding love, Elinor maintains composure while Marianne acts impulsively. The TV show Ek Hazaron Mein Meri Behna Hai also features sisters representing sense and sensibility in similar ways to the novel.
