OPIS
For Elinor Dashwood, sensible and sensitive, and her romantic, impetuous younger sister Marianne, the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self - interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social proprieties, Elinor is ill - equipped to compete with self - centred fortune - hunters like Lucy Steele, whilst Marianne`s unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously susceptible to the designs of unscrupulous men.
