Sense and Sensibility is the story of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood and their very different responses to love, loss and the crushing of their hopes and dreams. Austen chooses this novel to comment on the financial situation of women. The Dashwood Sisters are virtually penniles in a world where the 'marriage market' is largely governed by money. They lose their home on their father's death and receive more kindness from strangers than from their own brother. Despite their 'hardships' they maintain their dignity throughout.
