Jane Austen's "Sense And Sensibility"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Jane Austen's insightful glance into the inner workings of society, relationships and one's own personal existence is what has endeared her to her many readers. Tackling all these social elements and more is "Sense and Sensibility," her tale of money, manners and marriage, women's role in society, the idea of romantic love versus love of a more practical sense, as well as the universality of good art and literature. One of philosopher Aristotle's most pronounced contentions was that art holds a mirror up to life; with this in mind, the writer discusses how this statement applies to Austen's "Sense and Sensibility."
