Sense & Sensibility

Do you agree or disagree with these statements about the characters in the story? Choose one item and discuss your answers.

  1. In those times marriage was a practical business, so Lucy, being poor, was right to try to find the richest husband she could.
  2. Willoughby was not completely to blame for Marianne's broken heart. She should have been more cautious about allowing herself to fall in love with him.
  3. Edward should have been open about his feelings for Elinor, and broken his engagement to Lucy.
  4. Elinor knew that Lucy saw her as a rival, not as a friend, so there was no need for Elinor to keep Lucy's secret.

  1. First, I do agree that Elinor to secrecy because she promised not to tell anyone even knew that Lucy was his rival. Elinor also was a lady of speech, and if she told the whole secret, she would look like gossip to the eyes of people. also she would not get anything, so she preferred to wait and see what happens in the end she came out winning because she married Edward....!!

    1. I agree with you. Elinor is a person in whom you can trust and who are hardest situations she keeps her word. It is true that it was not necessary for her to keep the secret of lucy but thanks to this, her sister realized the great person who is on your side and that not everything in life is what one feels. Life is also, think of the others, although it can seem as accurate. Keep Calm.

    2. I agree with you both, Elinor knew that Lucy wasn't guilty at all for not knowing about the relationship between Edward and her. I think the only guilty person here is Edward because he had been engaged with Lucy for 4 years, he shouldn't try any kind of relationship with Elinor.
      In my opinion, Elinor did it well keeping the secret, and thanks to Lucy she knew the truth and realized that Edward was lying to her.

    3. Actually, I believe this is a clear example of what should be done in the real life. Sometimes we might be able to do anything to get what we want, even if this means forgetting our values and education. Elinor shows us how she got the love of her life, always keeping her lady-like position.

    4. I AM TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. THE FORM WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN SILENT ELINOR AND NOT SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE, BUT MISS JENNINGS IN A NEWS THAT WOULD GIVE COMPLETE ELINOR SAYING ALL THAT SAID LUCY AND MARIANNE YOU HEAR FROM HER. ELINOR NEVER SAID NOTHING, SHE MET HIS WORD.

  2. Well, not exactly Edward Luci left. If luci not involved with Robert, Edward was not another to marry her. And on elinor's attitude, his posture was fine as she is a person who thinks before and not carried by his impulses, he knew the subject well lead to Luci's relationship with Edward despite her feelings for him. finally came out as expected, to be with his beloved. <3

  3. Item #3. In my ipinion the Elinor´s fellings and love were reciprocated to Edward, thought Edward never knew how to say what he felt for her. I think that Edward was not shy only had in his mind the relationship with Lucy. He knew to expect, was honest and not to brake Elinor´s heart.

    I disagree, because that lucy being poor she would not have to have compromised with a rich man, because one engagement with someone is for love, but not for money, and Lucy had not to have compromised to someone that she does not love..

    1. Statement 1
      I agree with you. In an engagement or marriage the most important is what each feels for the other, since it is true that money can buy many things, but not love and happiness. Money is needed to live but if you live in misery and suffering is best left to live, in other words away from that which causes us sorrow.

    2. I agree with you, girls. Marry someone just for money is not convenient because you might be rich in economy but emotionally you'll be poor. You do not love the other person and your marriage will be a total disaster. In my opinion, if you need the money, then find a good job and make your own money. Work hard and don't waste your money on unnecessary things

      Delete
    3. I'm happy you think that way, girls. But remember we are talking about old times. People proposed and got engaged just a couple of hours after meeting! I think love was "invented" long after these times. Perhaps, what Lucy did was quite normal at that time.

      I disagree with you, because it is true that Wiloughby never told Marianne that he loved her but he also never said that the way in which he behaved was just a great friendship. All the time he knew what Mariane felt for him, and yet continued to play with her ​​love. In my opinion he is not a person of trust.

  8. Statement2

    I am disagreed with the statement. Well, it's true that Marianne should have been more cautious about Willoughby but the thing is that he always showed that he loved her and if he didn't have the intention to marry her, he had to stay away from her, but he did the opposite. He didn't treat her as a simple friend, he treated her with love so she though that he had good intentions. I know that Willoughby needed money and I am not disagreed with that but He should have been more honest and he shouldn't make her think that they have a future together, I know that he never told her that he loved her but the actions were sufficient. In my opinion he was selfish, but at least he left her some good memories.

  9. I AGREE WITH THAT EDWARD MUST BE MORE OPEN WITH THEIR FEELINGS ELINOR AND LUCY THAT WAY WAS NOT ENTITLED TO CLAIM, MUCH LESS DISCUSS WITH ELINOR BOTH FELT LOVE FOR EDWARD. EDWARTD TO KEEP QUIET AND NO TO TELL ELINOR, HURTING THE LING TERM AND ELINOR ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH LUCY EDWARD HAD THROUGH IT. EDWARD MADE A MISTAKE BY NOT HAVING ANYTHING OR LET ALONE LUCY NOT TO TELL ELINOR. IF EDWARD HAD TOLD YOU ALL BEFORE PROPOSING MARRIAGE TO LUCY, ELINOR WOULD HAVE TAKEN A DIFFERENT COURSE OF LIFE. EVENTUALLY EDWARD DID THE RIGHT THING AND CHOSE TO ELINOR AS SHE WAS HIS REAL LOVE.

  10. Statement 3
    I agree with this statement. I think that Edward ought to have broken the engagement with lucy, for the love he felt to elinor. Since Lucy just wanted his money and she was not sincere. To my ,Edward from the beginning must have to face his family and fight for what he felt when spoken, seen, or thought in Elinor. In my opnion he had to be honest with himself.

    1. I totally agree with you, Briggitte. Edward had to be more honest because he truly loved Elinor. He should have expressed to her his feelings so they could have lived a pleasant life earlier, but he lied. He shouldn't have engaged with Lucy Steele, instead of it, he should have been more honest to Elinor and confessed to her all his feelings, because he had to fight for who he loved. It wasn't going to be easy, though. But shyness is not an excuse.

    2. I am partially agree with both opinions, Because if he love her with passion, he should have said the true of the relation or engagement with Lucy but, he did not know that Lucy was with him for the money or inheritance after that she married with his brother in the latest character. Also they have the engagement for four years that is a so long time!

    3. You all have valid support. However, it is not easy to go against your family. It is true that as an adult, you must fight for someone you love, but fighting against your family is not as easy as it might sound. We have to analyze many things and make sure that person loves us back. For instance, Edward left his Mother's house to keep is engagement with Lucy. At the end, it was not worthy. Lucy left him.

  11. Statement 2

    I agree with this statement because Marianne believed that Willoughby loved her, but he never told her. On the other hand, he behaved in a way that he made her believe that he fell in love with her. In conclusion, both behaved in the wrong way so that situations were misunderstood.

    I disagree with this statement because Lucy confessed about her engagement with Edward to Elinor as secret, so Elinor should keep it, but I think that Elinor shouldn´t have continued talking to Lucy and she should have stayed away from her because Lucy saw her as a rival, not as a friend.

  13. Statement1

    I am not agreed but neither totally disagreed. I have never been agreed with the arranged marriages and it's not ok just because in the past it was normal and common. I think that all people deserve to choose their future wife or husband for the reasons that they believe that will make them happy. All people have different minds, thinkings and feelings, and all people look for their happiness. Maybe the happiness of Lucy was getting married with a rich man and not getting married for love, so , it's ok that she have chosen that man to get married because she wasn't sad with that decision. Personally, I don't think that I could get married with someone that I don't love, but each one have their meaning of happiness and I respect that.

    elinor is a prudent person, in every way, even in her actions. she was a very mature person, was strong at the events that she had crossed and for that reason she felt lucy's intentions were not good, because lucy knew that time ago was a romance between elinor and edward. people are not always what they seem and lucy, just looking for economic well-being so, otherwise she wouldnt have been enage soon with robert, edward's brother.

    In my opinion, Eduard should have talked to Lucy and Elinor and explain them that he had strong feelings for Elinor so, he and Lucy colud decided what to do with their engagement. But it was better to finish it becuase Eduard loved Elinor so, it was obvious that, in spite of everything, someday Eduard would marry Elinor because Eduard knew that with Elinor he could have the happy life and marriage that he wanted.

    1. I don´t agree with you. Knowing that Lucy only saw her as a rival, there was not any honor to conserve, and any secret to keep. Elinor knew that keeping the secret with her only woul d cause her suffering. So, telling the secret to other people, would have made clearer the situation, and Elinor could have engaged her with Edward long ago. We know that Lucy only told her secret to Elinor to keep her away of Edward, so she is not a good woman, and she does not deserve any respect.

      Delete
    2. I think George is right. Not because people are mean at you, we should do the same. Elinor shows us how a good person should behave. Eventhough she loved Edward, she stayed away because she knew Edward was a gentleman, and gentlemen must keep their promises. Besides, I don't think telling Lucy's secret could have made any difference.

      Delete
    3. I also agree with George not because the whole world is against you it means that you also are allow to behave like them , you always need to show your best face and show the values that you have. In my opinion, Elinor was totally right on not telling anyone the secret because there she shows that she was a totally Madame and not an immature person that want to reveal things that people tell you.

    Edward should have been open about his feelings for Elinor, and broken his engagement to Lucy. He could have avoided Elinor to suffering. Elinor suffered a lot because of Edward, indeed. It is very clear that Edward is a very shy person, but knowing that he confounded Elinor because of his engagement with Lucy, he should have broken this one, to engage him with Elinor. Most of problems in the story were caused for the lack of courage of Edward. Also, He should have put his emotions in order, so he would have taken better desicions.

    2. I disagree with Ruy because he try to tell us that real love doesn't exist. If you really love someone no matter the problems or the adversities you will fight for that love. And in that case Edward's intentions weren't to hurt Elinor, he made that for necesity and I prove you, if their love wasn´t real hey didn't get back.

    I am agree with this statement because Marriane should have been carefully with her decissions, and to not fall in love easily and Willoughby, never told Marriane that he loved her, just she was illusioned with him.
    However, Willoughby pretended to in love Marriane with all his actitudes, and for me that is incorrect because he was with another girl, and only he was going to marry with that girl for the money.

    I disagree with this statement because the love have existed in all the times. For this reason I can not share the opinion that the marriage was a practical business. If Lucy got married with Robert. I think that it happened because Lucy started to fall in love for him. If you decide to get married with someone. You need to be sure that both of you feel the same to each other. With the time you realized that it was the best election.

    I agree with this statement. Elinor was a polite young woman, so she listened carefully to what Lucy had to say but, after realizing that Lucy wanted to keep her out of the way of Edward, she did not have any reason for keeping Lucy's secret, so she didn't keep it anymore, and Elinor started to be more careful towards Lucy, who was a greedy, young woman.

    1. maybe it was not a second choice, maybe Edward really felt love for Elinor, Remember that Edward became engaged with lucy when he was younger and he was so honorable that he only wanted fulfill his word,and maybe were his feelings who talked in that moment and no his sense common because when one is young sometimes do not think only feel and no experimented the life, but now with the time he had lived , he had more expriencie and he could find in Elinor other things that in Lucy he did not find. like say in this time , maybe only was a love of high school and with Elinor if is real love.

    2. I agree with Alberto. I don't think Elinor was his second choice. He just wanted to keep his promise eventhough he truly loved Elinor. This shows what a honorable man he was, who placed Lucy's happiness over his.

    3. I don't think that Elinor was his second choice, maybe Edward didn't want to hurt Lucy and how he wasn't sure if Elinor had feelings for him, he just decided to resign. Another reason could be that he doesn't had the courage to fight for his love, anyway he finally got married with his true love.

  26. Willoughby was not completely to blame for Marianne's broken heart. She should have been more cautious about allowing herself to fall in love with him.

    I think so Marianne had much guilt about of her situation because she must not fall in love of a strange person, She could have to think a little more her mind instead of her heart, the coronel Brandon had a good intention with her, but she could not fall in love of a person that I was 35 years age. However when she traveled to London in that moment, she could know all true about type person that was John Willoughby. Fortunately, she chose to married with Mr. Brandon.

  28. I am not agree with those staments. First ,if you look for a rich person just because you are poor is not love.
    Second you know that you must not fall in love with a person that do not show you anything or at least enough to say that he loves you.
    Third, you have to decide very well what you really what to do and do not play with any feeling's person.
    Finally ,you ought to know that not always all will be like you wish or want to be and if you promise to keep a secret you have to do it. Katherine Pilaló

    3. I disagree and agree at the same time , I think you say things about men very general, one day my grandmother told me " not all Arabs are terrorist and not all Israelite are saint" is as to say "all womens only want money, a car and be beautiful". I think that you should change a little you way to think about the men. on the other hand, I agree about the love, it is very dangerous when you do not know well to the person and this is the reason why one should go step by step and then to accept to that person in your life.

    Marianne should not delude with because he never set out to be something more than a friend. And furthermore that would be far more than a year, and she did not know what could happen in that time. Obviously Willogby never resplied letters making clear how things were, so she had that disappointment when she saw him at the party with another girl. Adriana Medrano

  34. I think that Marianne is the blame of her break heart because willoughby never said that he loves she and Marianne only could imagine what she wanted but in part Willoughby has the blame because he was very good with she and sometimes he acted how her boyfriend the relation of Marianne and Willoughby very confused although Willoughby initially was meeting Marianne for the money of her but with the time he started to love she. Marianne should been cautious, I agree whit this but in some parts.

  40. I am disagree with this statement because if Lucy saw Elinor as a rival don't care. Lucy told Elinor that if she would keep her secret and it is incorrect that Elinor tells everyone about something that Lucy told her because Lucy gave her her confidence and Elinor should respects it.

    I agree with this statement .if Edward had broken his engagement with lucy at first. elinior wolud not have suffered much. I think that he hesitated to do it, because his mother could not inherinte him . He didnt love lucy but he decided to continue with his senseless engagement and for this instance elinior suffered a big disappointed.

  42. I will talk about statement number 4:
    I agree with it, because I think that Lucy thank that Edward was still in love with Elinor (It was true), and se wanted to make apart Elinor from Edward becaus in her inside she knew that Edwar loved Elinor and that he was married to her only for money. And if Elinor knew that Lucy din't like her, she didn´t have to make her a favor.

    In my opnion, Edward should have opened their feelings for Elinor and tell Lucy not felt the same for her and let fate decide all for not to hurt to lucy and for not to have trouble with both.

  45. STATEMENT 3.
    I have read this statement and I am totally agree with this. First of all, Edward had to be sincered with himself, telling Elinor what were the feelings for her. In order to be honest with his own heart, he had to talk about Elinor the relation that he were living with Lucy, even if he didn´t love her because he love Elinor at first. Second, when he went to visit Elinor and found Lucy at her room, he had to decide wich woman would he love honestly. Elinor always was her friend, so he would had told her what was happen in his heart at that moment. So Elinor and Edward could be in Love without problems.

    1. And what difference would it have made if Edward had told Elinor his real situation? I believe that could have made her even more miserable.

    2. At that point you are right but, I am focus on the point that If Edward told Elinor his feelings for her, and before that he decided to cancel his engagement with Lucy, maybe Elinor woud corresponse her feelings for Edward. The problem started to grow up when Edward, knowing her feelings for Elinor, continued his engagement with Lucy. He was not totally sincered with himself, and I believe Edward was fighting a confusion with his heart. I repeat, If Edward realize his feelings for Elinor, in that moment he should cancelled his engagement with Lucy and few days later told Elinor his feelings for her.

  46. Edward should have been open about his feelings for Elinor, and broken his engagement to Lucy.

    I agree, I think Edward should have said the truth about his feelings , never is good to have feelings inside of your heart. in spite of that he was a man honorable, I think ,more honorable was to say the truth to lucy and do not keep a lie. because nobody was happy and the only one that was hurting was to himself for not saying the truth. Sometimes is better a truth painfully and no a lie that excites.

  47. I do not know, If the teacher give me the 5 points with this commentary, but Yesterday I saw only 36 commentary on the Mr. Campuzano´s Blog. Recently I open the page in my computer, I saw there are 80 comments......jajajaja. It is amazing that all people decided to express your comments before finishing the time that the teacher established, when It was the first day of class. I remember that Mr. Campuzano told us ¨Dear students, you should not wait the last day of class to realize the 5 comments¨

    Nobody put atention....jajaja

  48. Statement 2
    I agree, I believe that Willoughby was not completely to blame for Marianne's broken heart. First, Marianne should have been more careful with her sentimental problems, and She shouldn't fall in love with him easily, Otherwise, Willoughby never told Marianne that He loved her. In this case she had to know him well, and think If He is a good man for her.

  49. Edward should have been open about his feelings for Elinor, and broken his engagement to Lucy. I agree because the money is for the moment but is not funny spend the money without the person who you really love. It is miscreated that a man pass time with a woman only by her money, its disguting.

  50. Elinor knew that Lucy saw her as a rival, not as a friend, so there was no need for Elinor to keep Lucy's secret but Elinor was a lady with education and she didn´t break the promise to keep the secret. However, Marianne was her sister and she must have said the truth to her sister because she loved Marianne.

  51. Statement 1
    I have never been agreed with arranged marriages. The person who marry buy money or another reason first is happy but the time pass they will become unhappy. Personally Getting marriage is serious when you want to choose someone to spend all your life you need to think very well.
