Sense and Sensibility

The Dashwoods must start a new life after the death of their father. The family's eldest daughter, Elinor, is upset to leave her sweetheart, while her younger sister, Marianne, quickly finds she has suitors to choose from.

Marianne and Willoughby find themselves falling blissfully in love and Colonel Brandon is called away on urgent business in London. Elinor receives a visit from Edward, but his behaviour is so odd and distant that she is left far from reassured.

Marianne learns the full extent of Willoughby's betrayal and wrongdoing from Brandon. When Elinor learns that Edward intends to honor his engagement to Lucy Steele, even after he is disinherited by his mother, she and Marianne decide to leave London.
