Gevoel En Verstand

Gevoel en Verstand

by Jane Austen

Gevoel en Verstand, originally titled "Sense and Sensibility", tells the story of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, navigating the complexities of love, society, and family in early 19th century England. Elinor, the elder sister, embodies reason and restraint, while Marianne embodies passion and impulsiveness. Their contrasting personalities lead them down different paths in their search for happiness, highlighting the societal expectations and limitations placed upon women during that era. The novel explores themes of social class, financial security, and the importance of both practicality and emotional fulfillment in relationships, all with a touch of Austen's signature wit and satire.
