Sense and Sensibilit

Jane Austen wrote her first novel, Sense and Sensibility, as an anti-satire, but with great skill. Every plot in the story, the character description is very real and delicate, let a person sincerely sigh Jane Austen's insight into human nature. The plot revolves around the activities of the two heroines to choose a spouse, exposing the British capitalist society at that time, taking marriage as a custom for women to seek economic security and improve their economic status, and the ugly fashion of paying attention to family status and ignoring the feelings of children and human rights. As the title suggests, the whole story focuses on the conflict between "reason" and "emotion". Marianne had more feeling than reason; Mr. And Mrs. John Dashwood had more reason than feeling; Willoughby, on the other hand, was very false in his feelings; he appeared to be affectionate, but in reality was cold, unfeeling, and extremely selfish. In her stories, Jane Austen praises people who cherish their feelings, though she also occasionally satirizes those who lack reason; However, the lack of emotion only reason or in the emotional hypocrisy of the people, but show extreme contempt for the attitude. Eleanor was Jane Austen's favorite because she was both sentimental and sensible. Here also illustrates Jane Austen's view on this issue, that is, we should not be without emotion, and we should not be too rational. The heroines of the story are in pursuit of equal communication and communication with men's thoughts and feelings, demanding equal rights in social status, and insisting on the freedom to choose a partner. This was supposed to be an act of rebellion in Britain at the time. Reason and emotion are like a double-edged sword. If you insist on reason, you may hurt your emotion. If you take care of your emotion, you may lose your reason. To be able to deal with emotions sensibly, to be able to stay rational within a certain range of emotions, of course, is the best, this is the best way to use this double-edged sword. But, in real life, when faced with a choice, do you have more reason than emotion? Or emotion over reason? Or, like Mr. Willoughby, who is very affectionate on the surface, but very selfish on the inside. So, may each of us be able to harness our heads and hearts instead of being enslaved by them.
