| Summary | "Raison et sensibilité, ou les deux manières d'aimer (Tome 1)" by Jane Austen is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, who navigate the complexities of love, relationships, and social expectations following the death of their father and the subsequent loss of their inheritance. The title reflects the contrasting personalities of the sisters, with Elinor embodying reason and practicality, while Marianne represents emotional fervor and passion. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Dashwood family and their sorrowful situation after the death of Mr. Dashwood. In his will, he leaves the family in a precarious financial state, favoring his son from a previous marriage. The narrative explores their abrupt transition from a life of comfort to one of financial struggle, focusing on the eldest sister, Elinor, who adopts a pragmatic approach to their challenges, and the more romantic Marianne, who is deeply affected by their loss. The opening chapters set the stage for themes of familial duty, emotional resilience, and the societal pressures that shape their destinies as the sisters embark on a journey towards establishing their identities and futures in a changed world.
