Is Elinor ‘Hero’ ?
• The title “Sense and Sensibility”• Elinor- logical & rational• Reflection of Austine.
• No any male hero.• Male characters are marginalized keenly.
• Why Elinor is Hero ?• Her mind works as a male’s mind.• She is one and only ‘sense’ as hero.• Cries very less.• Does not show own emotion.
• Shelter of the family.• Cares without being melodramatic.
• In her relations with Edward also, she is in quite higher position.
“I hope, Marianne,” continued Elinor, “you do not consider him as deficient in general taste. Indeed, I think I may
say that you cannot, for your behaviour to him is perfectly
cordial, and if that were your opinion, I am sure you could
never be civil to him.”
