Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen - Starting March 1st 2021

[Sophie]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ I am not sure if I like Willoughby or not. Maybe I just dislike that everyone is in love with him. Especially Marianne is acting "insensibly" as Austen says.
I am very fond of Mrs Dashwood, she seems such a good mother (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Sorry I started late!
Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[The son and the daughter-in-law... fucking assholes, both of 'em. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

That's okay Quirks!
LOL I agree, epecially her, he just seems stupid.
Chapter 32
(view spoiler)[ I DID NOT see that coming about Willoughby. I guess I knew he was not perfect as Marianne was too in love to really convince me of his character but still.
I actually am fond of Colonel Brandon, he is so good to her and I feel bad for him remembering the way she and Willoughby used to laugh at him.
Also, I feel so bad for Elinor with Edward. She is more invested in that relationship that I had understood before. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

Chapter 44
(view spoiler)[ I cannot believe that Edward is actually marrying Lucy. So what, both Elinor and Marianne will be left.
As to the last chapter, I cannot say that I expected this explanation from Willoughby and it certainly was not satisfying. However, it is understandble and shows a slightly better character than I had imagined before.
My hope is on Colonel Brandon whom I have liked best than any of the men. And I really ppreciated his giving that small house to Edward Ferrars, even though it is probably for the sake and closeness he has with Elinor. (hide spoiler)]

[Sophie]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ WOW I did not expect that turn with Edward. I wanted it, I tried to think of some way that the servant who brought them the news of the marriage had been wrong, but I did not expect it to actually be true. I am so happy for Elinor. I could not see a better end for Marianne as well, I was not sure how she could be happy with someone other than Willoughby, but I can see how she has changed. I think they really go the perfect ending. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Marianne and Willoughby are being total assholes when it comes to Colonel Brandon. (hide spoiler)]
