Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.

1.) What do we discover about Marianne Dashwood’s sensibilities and her attraction to John Willoughby in the following conversation with her sister Elinor?

“Elinor then ventured to doubt the propriety of [Marianne] receiving such a present [a horse] From a man so little, or at least so lately known to her. This was too much.
‘You are mistaken, Elinor,’ said she warmly, ‘in supposing I know very little of Willoughby. I have not known him long indeed, but I am much better acquainted with him, than I am with any other creature in the world, except yourself and mama. It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;–it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others. I should hold myself guilty of greater impropriety in accepting a horse from my brother, than from Willoughby. Of John I know very little, though we have lived together for years; but of Willoughby my judgment has long been formed.'”
2. What is inappropriate about Marianne’s greeting of Willoughby at the London party? In what ways is Austen showing us the difference between sense and sensibility in this scene?
