Characters: Marianne Dashwood

Marianne represents the sensibility of the book. She's the middle Dashwood sister, very romantic, sentimental and of course emotional. She falls in love very fast with Willoughby but he abandons her, and after that, she does not even try to restrain or moderate her sadness.

She bursts into tears a lot of times, showing that she is very emotional. In the end Marianne has to temper her sensibility with some good sense. She gave up Willoughby and she abandoned her childish, idealistic notions of love at first sight and allows herself to gradually develop affections for Colonel Brandon, who she really married.

    Marianne is by far the person with the strongest personality in Dashwood family, she does not care on showing her emotions and sentiments, the opposite of her sister, Elinor.
