Sense and Sensibility
68Worth an evening.
It's the novel, not the 1995 film, and Elinor is carrying the house, not being cold.
The review
The money is gone because the law gave the estate to the son. That is already done before either sister gets to be a character study. Elinor hides what she feels and carries the household. Marianne spends hers. This is the 1811 novel. I have no interest in putting on the 1995 film instead.
The quiet sister is not a prude. A proposal is not a marriage. I want those two kept straight when a teen reads it, because the feelings get asked to pay for an estate the law already handed to the son.
