From that scenario, Marianne falls for the handsome gent but in the middle part of their blooming relationship he left her for a financially favorable match. The dismay and heartbreak, brought Marianne into a menacing situation.
At the end part of the story Lucy Steele abandons Edward for his richer brother Robert. Edward married Elinor. Marianne marries Colonel Brandon, the reserve man who truly loves her.

Comparing the two sisters, Elinor has this strong personality. When she found out that Edward was engaged with Lucy, she still kept her composure and clearly understood that he first meet Lucy before her. Even in difficult situations she was able to control her feelings. To be honest if I were in her situation I would freak out..hahahaha
Mariane, on the other hand was more on the showy side. She was quite loveabale but tends to get carried away easily with her emotions. She only sees what she wants and totally ignore what she careless. She can be on top of the world when inlove and too low when hurt. Hmmmm….I am somewhat like her…lolz.
The sisters reacts to their romantic happiness and misfortunes, and the lessons they learned before coming finally to the must happy ending creates the soul of the novel.
