12. KEY Scene HIGHLIGHTING SENSE & SENSIBILITY Marianne suffers a heartbreak when she learns that her love interest, Willoughby, is engaged to another woman. Marianne is devastated and allows her emotions to completely overwhelm her. She falls into a deep despair, neglects her health, and refuses to be comforted, embodying the idea of sensibility—being ruled entirely by passion and emotion. In contrast, Elinor experiences her own emotional turmoil when she discovers that Edward Ferrars , the man she quietly loves, has been secretly engaged to another woman for years. Despite her deep sadness, Elinor keeps her emotions in check, continues to fulfill her family duties, and does her best to support Marianne through her grief. Elinor’s behavior exemplifies the idea of sense—remaining rational, composed, and responsible even in the face of personal distress.
