Pulse warmth

The older sister is "rational" and the younger sister is "emotional".

The younger sister has too much passion to see what lies beneath a person's vain surface; the elder sister is too cautious, and most of the people who bear the responsibility are like this, and they are good at self-denial but escape in disguise.

Jane Austen's original work, the down-and-out sisters finally won happiness with their own gestures - a typical Austen-style ending. And the charm of men in the films of that era is always endless.

As a Chinese, such a British classic by Ang Lai must be controversial. Although the protagonists are slightly inferior (personal opinion) compared with "Pride and Prejudice", the tenderness and warmth are silent.

It always takes some experience to understand that life is long, and the only person who can endure the waste of time together is Qiba.

Sense and Sensibility quotes

  • Charlotte Palmer: To think! We can see his insufferable house from the top of our hill. I shall ask Jackson to plant some very tall trees.

    Mr. Palmer: You will do nothing of the sort.

  • Mrs. Dashwood: We're so happy that you chose to invite Edward to Norland. He's a dear boy. We're all very fond of him.

    Fanny: We have great hopes for him. Much is expected of him by our mother with regard to his profession.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Naturally.

    Fanny: And in marriage. She's determined that both he and Robert will marry well.

    Mrs. Dashwood: Of course. But I hope she desires them to marry for love.

    Fanny: Love is all very well, but unfortunately we cannot always rely on the heart to lead us in the most suitable directions. You see, my dear Mrs. Dashwood, Edward is entirely the kind of compassionate person upon whom penniless women can prey. And having entered into any understanding, he would never go back on his word. He's simply incapable of doing so, but it would lead to his ruin. I worry for him so, Mrs. Dashwood. My mother has made it perfectly plain that she would withdraw all financial support from Edward should he choose to plant his affections in less... exalted ground than he deserves.

    Mrs. Dashwood: I understand you perfectly.
