Two sisters of opposing temperament but who share the pangs of tragic love provide the subjects for Sense and Sensibility.

Elinor, practical and conventional, the epitome of sense, desires a man who is promised to another woman.

Marianne, emotional and sentimental, the epitome of sensibility, loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts her.

True love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility.
