The film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Sense and Sensibility centres around two sisters, Elinor Dashwood and Marianne Dashwood, both of marriageable age, and the conflicts between reason and emotion involved in the ways of romance. The responder is positioned to see how Romantic ideas and logic and reason should not overcome each other and be taken to the extremes, that in order to obtain peace one should establish a balance between sense and sensibility.
Marianne, the younger of the sisters, embraces her sensibility and believes that spontaneous expression of emotion is the ideal. ... ”
As said by Colonel Brandon, a friend of Sir John who yearns for Marianne’s affections, “Romantic sensibility sets propriety at naught”. This quote ties in with the Romantic idea of rejection of classical ideas of correct form, an idea that Marianne well displays throughout the film. ... She controls her Romantic sensibilities with a sense of propriety, concealing her emotions even in uncomfortable situations. ... Afterwards on in the film, Elinor shows spontaneous expression of emotion in situations that are very emotionally demanding. ... Willoughby show the effects of varying degrees of sense and sensibility. ...
The film exhibits the conflicts between logic and reason and Romantic ideas, and how people are affected should they allow one to dominate the other.
