Summary
Tells the story of two sisters, polar opposites Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, whose hopes of marrying well are smashed when their family's estate is left to an arrogant stepson upon the death of their father. Thus pauperized the practical, almost prissy Elinor (the "Sense" of the duo) sets out to hide her deep affection for her brother-in-law pained at the fact that they cannot marry. But when younger Marianne indulging her almost hedonistic pursuit of passion, becomes infatuated with a dashing rogue, her clamorous spirit threatens to blind her in a more lasting and genuine love
