The Difference Between Sense and Sensibility
I never realized there was much difference between the two words. In fact, I had the the two words almost backwards in regards to their actual definitions. Today we spent most of class time discussing the differences/similarities between the two. Seeing as Jane Austen's novel is titled Sense and Sensibility it is important to have a good idea about what the two words mean and interesting enough, her two main characters, Elinor and Marianne, each exemplify one of the two words. Can you guess which character is sense and which character is sensibility?

Marianne - Sense
Elinor - Sensibility
Do I have to explain my answer??? lol.
My first reaction was the opposite but I am going with this answer.
I would think Marianne to be Sensibility...
Marianne - sensibility
Elinor - sense
However, they seem to learn a lot about both throughout the book. Is this a trick question? ;)
