Sense and Sensibility
When Dashwood dies, perhaps everything will change when he leaves a large part of his wealth to the son who gave birth to the first wife. At the same time, his three daughters left his second marriage: Eleanor, Marianne, and Margaret. The situation of the family, particularly girls, is disrupted by the hostility of wealth. Elinor is a serious girl and tries to keep things going smoothly, and it seems that the lack of wealth will affect the marriage of both Elinor and Marianne. Elinor needs to be associated with Edward, but his family does not agree with this and separate him. Marianne finds John Willoughby, full of vigor and activity, different from what she thinks.
