I met Jane Austen by reading her novel Pride and Prejudice, which was actually her first novel at the age of 19 and is a sister story to Pride and Prejudice. Although this is her first novel, her writing skills are already quite skilled.
The novel takes the tortuous love turmoil of the two sisters Eleanor and Marianne as the main line, and through the humorous and humorous comparison, it raises the questions of moral norms and behavioral norms, which is a contest between reason and emotion. Treating her loving sister Eleanor rationally and patiently, putting her family first, she is a well-informed woman; while her sister Marianne is naïve and kind, and is an emotional supremacist. Although in the end, "reason" and "emotion" have a happy ending, but the concept of love of both is worthy of our deep consideration.
Austen is a pioneer of British realist fiction, and she leads us to appreciate the British humor and style of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with her meticulous brushstrokes, vivid and vivid dialogue, and light and witty descriptions. The novel is fresh in language and full of comedic conflicts, and also reflects the daily life and idyllic scenery of the Middle Class in the English countryside at that time.
"Sense and Sensibility" has also been made into a film by the famous director Ang Lee, and the film has won many awards, which shows the popularity of the novel and is worth reading.
