We talk about Elinor being the &#8216;moral spokesperson&#8217; for the book, why Marianne marries Colonel Brandon, how Edward is less dashing than both Willoughby and Brandon, the social and financial gap between Elinor and Marianne after their marriages, and Lucy&#8217;s marriage to Robert. We also revisit the sense vs sensibility concept, and how the novel is both flawed and wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> We discuss the character of Elinor, then Ellen talks about art, music and writing, and Harriet takes a final look at the popular culture versions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Things we mention:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>References:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> Marjorie Theobauld, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
