Sense and Sensibility background

Sense and Sensibility

Two sisters with contrasting temperaments fall in love and experience heartbreak in a beloved classic by Jane Austen, set during the 18th century.

The Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, must search for a new home with their mother as they inherit most of their father's money from their half-brother. A kind cousin gives them the lease on a cottage. Disciplined and restrained Elinor forms an attachment to quiet Edward Ferrars, while impetuous Marianne falls for dashing John Willoughby. Despite their lack of fortune and strict social structure in 18th-century England, both sisters face challenges with marriage prospects.
