Sense & Sensibility, a thread: I see Charlotte and Sidney in Elinor and Edward’s situation. Elinor: “His imprudence had made her miserable for a while; but it seemed to have deprived himself of all chance of ever being otherwise.” #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon
Sense & Sensibility: “She might in time regain tranquillity; but HE, what had he to look forward to?” #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon
S&S: “Could he ever be tolerably happy with Lucy; could he, were his affection for herself out of the question, with his integrity, his delicacy, and well-informed mind, be satisfied with a wife like her--illiterate, artful, and selfish?” #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon
“...for self-interest alone could induce a woman to keep a man to an engagement, of which she seemed so thoroughly aware that he was weary.” #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon
Elinor, musing as to what caused Edward to engage himself to Lucy (sounds like Sidney’s attraction to Eliza) “The youthful infatuation of nineteen would naturally blind him to every thing but her beauty and good nature...” #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #SaveSanditon
