After reading Sense and Sensibility 1 Jane Austen wrote her first novel Sense and Sensibility with irony, but her writing method was very clever. Every plot and character in short stories are described in great detail, which makes people sincerely feel Jane Austen's insight into human nature. The plot closely revolves around the theme activities of the two heroines, revealing the ugly fashion trend of the development of American bourgeois society at that time, that is, marriage is regarded as a custom for women to ensure and enhance their influence on economic development, and family status is valued regardless of their children's feelings and the right to communicate with others. The centralization of all short stories mainly shows the differences and contradictions between reason and emotion.
Marianne is not rational but emotional; Robert Dashfield and his wife are more rational than emotional; And Willoughby is very hypocritical emotionally. He looks very emotional on the surface, but in fact he is cold and selfish. Jane Austen praised the role of caring for feelings in many ways in her short stories, although she often laughed at anyone's lack of rationality. I don't know that those who are only rational or emotionally selfish because of lack of feelings mainly show extreme contempt. Jane Austen admires Eleanor the most. Because she is emotional and rational. Jane Austen's point of view on this issue is also discussed here, that is, you can't be without feelings and too rational. The female number one in short stories pursues perfection, communicates fairly and effectively with men's thoughts and feelings, stipulates equal rights in status, and persistently chooses lovers at will. In the United States at that time, it should be a personal act of treason.
Reason and emotion are like a double-edged sword. Sticking to reason will hurt feelings, take good care of feelings, and lose reason. It is the best way to solve emotions rationally and maintain rationality within a certain emotional range. Naturally, it is best to use this double-edged sword well. However, in real life, when you usually encounter choices, does reason prevail over emotion? Or emotion over reason? Or, like Mr. Willoughby, he is emotional on the surface, but self-centered inside. So I hope that each of us can control our own reason and emotions instead of being enslaved by it.
Reflection on reason and emotion II. Have you read Pride and Prejudice? You know its author Jane. Austin? If so, maybe you will know her other book Sense and Sensibility. Jane. Austin is indeed an excellent female writer, and her immortality in the field of literature can even be compared with Shakespeare. Moreover, she is a writer who focuses on love and marriage. She didn't write about the great events of her time, but she was famous for describing the lives of ordinary people. I think she has set an example for many people. She is worth learning!
Sense and Sensibility wrote a strongly shocking love story (in fact, this book has three touching love stories). It left a deep impression on me with its amazing twists and turns, humorous jokes and thrilling ending. Sense and Sensibility was originally named Eleanor and Marianne, from which we may be able to associate the general content of this book (of course, I feel this way).
At the beginning, I always thought the story was vulgar, and it was simply a replica of the dog blood idol drama at eight o'clock: the heroine of justice, the supporting actor of the villain, "Sad Cinderella" VS "The Rich Man", your son fell in love with Cinderella at first sight and so on. But after reading this book, I believe no one will think so again. Because every writer worthy of the name has the ability to use words to turn decay into magic, what's more, Scott, a great British writer, once said, "I really can't describe these ordinary things and people vividly with meticulous brushwork like this lady." Jane. Austin made full use of this talent and wrote this story that moved us.
Jane. Austin is contradictory. In my opinion, she belongs to a realistic writer. After all, her creation started the climax of realistic novels in the 19 era. But her works are also romantic. Eleanor, the heroine in Sense and Sensibility, is a good example. Of course, I'm not saying that Eleanor is a romantic, but that she is a "perfect Venas" (which is also my personal opinion, of course). Eleanor is the author's pet. She is generous, quiet and calm-she is simply a man's dream lover; So I also think that the author is a feminist advocate in a sense.
The fairest thing in the world is time. Jane. Austin is also equivalent to the "wall of harmony" in literature. He can let us know the whole period by reading a book. A great female writer of a certain class in the whole society radiates brilliant light only belonging to her in literature.
After reading Sense and Sensibility, I remember seeing Sense and Sensibility for the first time, probably in junior high school, so I liked that lively girl very much. Perhaps Kate at that time was full of classical, pure and true beauty, so moving. I clearly remember, Marianne said, the more books I read, the less likely I am to meet true feelings. Then I remembered that Colonel Brandon came in with a song and saw Marianne at the piano. The sun shone on her face and she was covered in it. It's really picturesque and emotional.
So at that time, I chose the youthful Marianne to love. As if someone guessed that you were smiling or sobbing, as if you could bring sunshine to the whole room through laughter, as if you were sitting there, letting the melody gurgle from your fingertips, while everyone was quietly intoxicated by your notes, as if you could cry if you wanted to laugh happily, and you didn't have to erase your edges and corners just because of any outside world, as if you were full of youthful vitality, talent and playfulness, and the whole world could revolve around you at will.
However, Marianne only shines at an unreasonable age. So, many years later, when I saw the BBC remake of Sense and Sensibility, I obviously gave more love to Marianne's sister, Eleanor, who was silent in my world before. There is no such light around, no such handsome face, just share your thoughts quietly, and then endure your own sadness and still hold up your expectations.
The same background, the same growth experience, however, they are like two stages of growth to me, although their differences are actually just static personality problems. People like Eleanor should be rare in one's early years, forbearing, introverted and understanding. More of us are just Marianne. I used to think that the most glamorous and perfect things, those things that can't be reached, are actually just the normal state at a certain stage of our lives and will eventually be killed.
Marianne, who is so simple and willful, is finally willing to calm down beside a person she despised before. I'm no longer obsessed with the halo I put on her. Reason is greater than emotion, and growing up is really a compromise. But I don't want to deny this compromise, just as this blog post is not to commemorate everyone who used to be Marianne. I am no longer so obsessed with arrogance and willfulness.
I just passed through other people's stories recently, and it's probably not just impulse that broke the previous fate. Destiny is gone, and there is nowhere to live. Isn't that the best refuge? It's not easy to stop suddenly. After I finished the contest between reason and emotion, I still laughed at myself. Maybe I am the most naive one.

After reading Sense and Sensibility, the story is not as comfortable as Pride and Prejudice, and the theme is clear. Among them, my personal favorite place is only the feeling at the end.
At the end of the story, all Lucy's actions in this matter, especially her final success, can be used as the most inspiring example of a person, indicating that no matter how many obstacles there are on the surface, everything will always be fine, and she will pray loudly for good luck, as long as she is not afraid to spend time and not be heartless.
Marianne married Colonel Brandon, and Willoughby lost love. A dissolute and extravagant aristocratic wan ku married a rich and vicious woman she didn't love. At the same time, he fell in love with Marianne and knew that his feelings for Marianne were so unforgettable. It is impossible for him to get the news of Marianne's marriage without going through hardships.
Eleanor married Edward. They've been through too much. Edward was thus released. Eleanor no longer needs to worry about others, she enjoys her little life. Her brother and Robert also enjoy their own lives. Every couple hit it off and have the same hobbies.
This ending is in line with the aesthetics of China people. And is the seemingly perfect ending perfect? First of all, Lucy, who is straightforward and has no obstacles in her feelings, has unlimited talents. She could have won Willoughby's friendship, but the relationship could not be realized because of money. This is the real life. This novel does not satirize the decadent and luxurious lifestyle of the upper class. From the perspective of realistic secularism, although the language of this novel is not as humorous and prominent as Pride and Prejudice, its practical significance can be consistent with modern secularism. Marianne and Brandon are nineteen years apart. A 17-year-old girl overcame her "fallible love concept" and waited until she calmed down and lived with someone who once thought she was too old to get married. This is so sad.
Reflecting on reality, youth gives you first love, and you love people in the world with your innocence. When people reach adulthood, they have their own prejudices, ignore the troubles brought by the world and seek a suitable love. Just rational! It is reason, not emotion. No adult will be Marianne again.
After reading Sense and Sensibility, Essay 6 summarizes the memories poured into the pen tip.
So the good books we read are mostly nourishing thoughts and calm emotions. And in this subtle process, gradually calm yourself down and enter a flowing natural state.
I can't remember when I started reading Sense and Sensibility. Maybe it has been lying quietly on my pillow, from Chinese to English, from documents to movies, getting drunk every day and feeling one year older. When I was a child, Sense and Sensibility was very boring. The two girls have different personalities, different experiences and the same happy ending. Happiness in the world is always similar. I found Cinderella's shadow in them, but this time the prince is no longer handsome. Thus, a realistic picture scroll of the 18th National Congress of Britain became the sunset glow of my fairy tale era. At that time, I still believed that every story was true and every happiness was taken for granted.
Until I learned to live a busy life, nothing was more boring than reading old books. So, I open rationality to emotion again, and see how rational Eleanor calmed all the sufferings with an inclusive heart, and how emotional Marianne learned rationality and grew up. Marianne once thought that a person could only have love once in his life, so she refused Colonel Brandon. He knew as many sad songs as she did, and it was her beautiful piano sound that moved him. However, there are many choices in one's life after all. Falling into the water once can't stop us from taking a boat again, because every new boat may carry our happiness to the other side.
Compared with Marianne, my sister Eleanor is more rational. She can talk business with her stingy brother, give her the most sincere comfort when her sister is in pain, and even wish her lover never to return. I like to see Eleanor's gentle smile best, as if it could fade everything away. When finally shy Edward came back and said to her, "I didn't expect anything here today." I just want to tell you that my heart will always belong to you? " The most touching confession came from the mouth of the least romantic character, and Eleanor, who has always been rational, finally burst into tears. I finally understand that not all happiness is natural. Happiness needs a long wait, but also a consistent childlike innocence.
Whether a person is happy or not depends only on whether she can feel calm after a calm day, and whether she can have a kind of fullness and saturation to fill her heart. If so, people who are often sad are also happy. When Marianne played the song "Don't cry, the fountain of sadness", not only Colonel Brandon, but also I was immersed in the sadness of a girl who lost her father. Isn't it a kind of happiness to be sad at ease?
After reading Sense and Sensibility, I remember watching Sense and Sensibility for the first time, probably in junior high school, and I liked that lively girl very much. Perhaps Kate at that time was full of classic, pure and true beauty, which was really touching. I clearly remember, Marianne said, the more books I read, the less likely I am to meet true feelings. Then I remembered that Colonel Brandon came in with a song and saw Marianne at the piano. The sun shone on her face and she was covered in it. It's really picturesque and emotional.
So at that time, I chose the young and energetic Marianne to like it. As if someone guessed whether you were smiling or sobbing, as if you could bring sunshine to the whole room through laughter, as if you were sitting there, letting the melody gurgle from your fingertips, and everyone was quietly intoxicated by your notes, as if you could cry heartily in the legendary swordsman, and you didn't have to erase your edges and corners because of any outside world, as if you were full of youthful vitality, talent and playfulness, and the whole world could revolve around you at will.
However, Marianne only shines at an unreasonable age. So many years later, when I saw the BBC remake of Sense and Sensibility, I obviously gave more love to Marianne's sister Eleanor, who had been silent in my world. There is no such light around, no such handsome face, just share your thoughts quietly, and then endure your own sadness and still hold up your expectations.
The same background, the same growth experience, however, they are like two stages of growth to me, although their differences are actually just static personality problems.

In fact, they are just the normal state at a certain stage of our lives and will eventually be killed.
Marianne, who is so simple and willful, is finally willing to calm down beside the person she once despised. I'm no longer obsessed with the halo I put on her. Reason is greater than emotion, and growing up is really a compromise. And I don't want to deny this compromise, just as this blog post is not to commemorate everyone who used to be Marianne. I am no longer so obsessed with arrogance and willfulness.
I just passed through other people's stories recently, and it's probably not just impulse that broke the previous fate. Destiny is gone, and there is nowhere to live. Isn't that the best refuge? It's not easy to stop suddenly. I am still laughing at myself after I have finished PK my reason and emotion in this way. Maybe I am the most naive one.
After reading Sense and Sensibility 8, Eleanor gazed into the distance in the face of the turbulent sea. She showed no sadness. She accepted everything as a matter of course, but her mind was full of thoughts. She didn't vent at all, because she didn't want her family to worry about her, so she was always so calm. Life is as usual. She doesn't write all her feelings on her face like her sister Marianne, which makes others worry and even influence others. She knew it wouldn't change anything, and it was useless to herself and others, so she tried to suppress her feelings and even put up with Marianne's unreasonable troubles.
I think Eleanor's reason is the highlight of this book. She has the virtue that a woman should have, and finally got love. Jane Austen regards Eleanor as a model of women and describes the women she worships for readers. Marianne is the representative of sensibility. She has her own opinions and never cares about other people's opinions. First, she fell in love with a youthful teenager, who seemed to share her views and opinions, but Willoughby's initial rebellion and abandonment made her unbearable. She vented her feelings unscrupulously, regardless of her sister's opinion, and went her own way. Her cheerful personality once attracted Colonel Brandon deeply, and her unreasonable behavior also worried others very much. Fortunately, time seems to cure everything. Marianne, who recovered from a serious illness, returned to Barton Manor, was infected by Eleanor's reason, gradually woke up and accepted Colonel Brandon's love.
So Eleanor can help people around her get happiness. And herself, whether her love is worth it. Edward and Eleanor are attracted to each other in every way. In her eyes, Edward is honest, rational and responsible. After learning of Edward's engagement, she didn't hate him for it, but treated him rationally and tried to suppress her inner feelings. Edward really deserves it. When he was young, he got engaged to a girl without telling his mother. Later, he met Eleanor and was deeply attracted. In order to fulfill his responsibility, he decided to give up the comfortable life provided by his mother and marry Lucy instead of telling Eleanor. Lucy is engaged to her brother Robert, so she plans to get her mother's money and make her independent. Edward was cheated, but he felt lucky because he was free and could pursue another nobler woman. He and Eleanor won precious love for each other.
Sense and Sensibility is not a vigorous story, but it embodies wisdom and rationality everywhere. From this novel, I realize that not everything can be done in life. Before doing everything, we should consider the consequences and the feelings of people around us. Reason should be the principle of life.
