Feminist Approach
* Introduction *
Sense
and sensibility is a novel by “Jane Austen”, and was her first published work when it
appeared in 1811 under the pseudonym “A lady”. A work of romantic fiction,
better known as a comedy of manners, sense and sensibility is set southwest
England, London and Kent between 1792 and 1797, and portrays the life and loves
of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and moriann.The novels follows the young ladies
to their new home, a meager on a distant relatives property, where they
experience love, romance and heartbreak. Jane has to very popular and she is
innovative one in all her novel to real and feminist issues portray. In her
novel, 1995 to 2005 all novel in female has only in straggle to male dominated
society. Jane Austen’s novel in that they revealed only the most
"distant recognition'' of the "feelings' and no awareness of the

1)Sense and
Sensibility
·
2)Persuasion
3) Emma
·
4) Mansfield Park
·
5)Pride and
Prejudice
In this five novels in Austen has to women are face to problem in society and
there are very helpless to men. But in her “sense and sensibility” (1818) in three
Sister Elinor, Marianne and Margret life and also they are mature but as female
face social problem in this novel. Jane had woman spectator expands not only as
feminist, female and feminine, she portrayed to woman in society. Austen’s
novels are translated into ideologies that reflect the social context of the
productions. So now Jane has feminist author and she wrote to woman identities
in this novel ‘sense and sensibility’. And she applies to feminist approach in
the novel.
*Feminist approach*
Feminism a recognized movement in the 18th century and 19th century. We know
that to female are marginalized in society and many readers are writing to
woman and most of female novelist and it may be that to fictional
reconstruction of patriarchal gender conceptions and also woman as gender
different and we can see that to stereotype behaviors in society and men. When
Jane Austen was writing her novels, England faced the early feminist
consciousness, abolitionism, and war with France and its post –revolution
tension, along with the strained relationship with the newly independent
America. Austen turned her back on the social and political context other time,
and that she was an anti-Jacobin and reactionary feminist who rejects the
feminism of Wollstonecraft The reading of Jane Austen, however, shows diverging
opinions on her involvement with those issues in this novel woman are helpless
and we know that to truth but men reject to woman. Here Elinor and Marianne are
character also feeling to man as Robert, Willoughby, and Edward etc. So
in this novel Jane Austen has to woman in my interpreted into ‘sense and
sensibility’ this following are like that: female character, man use to women
in sexual, Jane Austen style, feminist adaption and my argument. And novel in
see that men and women characters…

Feminist approach in sense and sensibility
In this novel female characters are three Dashwood Elinor, Marianne and
Margret and also Mrs. Dashwood. Jane Austen has woman more than space to man
and developing to all woman character. Jane Austen Hs to three sister are
different and most that to Elinor different nature and she is mature to two
other sister and she is very common understand may be to not emotion. She has
to undergo characters evolutions. Elinor experience three
emotions breakdowns when Edward and Lucy engagement is revealed and known to
Marianne, when Marianne is in sickbed and it may be that to Edward explains
Lucy’s married to his brother. Jane say that to Elinor has to be woman not
express to feeling to man. Here Jane has to feminist and maybe she is
emotions and social political one into only money and Lucy has woman, it may be
only to rich man married and not poor, or not love and emotion selected. So
Jane has to Elinor as a balanced character and human being who is not only
rationally but also capable. And in this novel sensibility as Marianne has
emotion and youngest to Dashwood sister only one but she failed in love to Mr.
Willoughby and he reject to her. So that in here Jane has to
feeling and hopeless of men woman behaves and it may be that to love, money,
sexual and political-social to her. In last Margret is mere complement in novel
and she is younger two other sister, an outspoken boyish character though whom
the protests against patriarchal arrangements of society are expressed. She is
shown climbing a tree house both in Orland and Barton, she uses
telescope and may be to Jane style to woman are free in society and also that
to child girl is free one.

She is also for inspires to be a pirate
as her and the law of father and thought whom the mainstreaming of feminist
issues are argued which highlight Elion’s confinement in domesticity despite
her use of reason. Jane has developed into heroes that feminist years and she
balanced to men developed to both and we see that to influence to woman
depended to men. And also that to woman only in money, love, property and social
religious in her life. Also Mrs. Dashwood has helpless and also she is
fear to married to her daughter and we know that to his house in Norland also
Marianne love to Willoughby reject and we see that to elinor has to feeling
understand to her sister illness. Here know that to Jane Austen has to develop
to Margret Dashwood character and free mind characters. So that in feminist
voice to Margret’s mouth since the elder sisters and rational to Eli nor.
So that in Jane Austen point of views and she real issues portray to all woman
character. And also reflect to Jane in late 20th century and early 21st century
into woman post feminist issues in society. We can see that to all
interplays it with different issues” slavery, money, property, religious male
dominated society and woman are margined of male society. So that in one to
feminist in sense and sensibility novel in Jane Austen feminist ideas but now
other detail to Jane’s style, feminist adaption and sexual use to woman in this
novel ‘sense and sensibility’.
Main
theme of sense and sensibility.
Marriage.
He
principal theme of her novels is her matrimony. Generally the heroin after few
false starts, meets the right man ,and a series of misunderstanding and
frustration occurs to delay but never to prevent their union.For Marrianne and
Elinor,marriage is not a choice, but a necessity, and their need to marry
expediently and well is a pressing concern in the novel, as they look for
suitors.
Young
man are more free to chosed life partner for marriage, for example Mr.colonel
Brandon reach at the age of 35 and still unmarried. For women who have money,
marriage is necessary to secure their social positions and ensure financial
stability for the future.
Appearance vs reality.
Pertains
to character rspecially, as many characters in the novel present themselves as
me thing, and end being another. John willoughby is the best example of this,
as he seems romantic, open, and genuine but ends up exposing himelf as vain
,idle,and cruel.
“Tell me,
willoughby for Heavens sake,tell me, what it the truth?”
Marianne
to willoughby.
Hypocrisy.
A vast
number of characters in the novel embody this trait to varying degrees, john
and Fanny
“Indeed, to say the truth, I am convinced
within myself, that
your father had no
idea of your giving them any money at all.”
Fanny Dashwood to her husband
Lady middleton ( sir middleton is good fellow who gave resort
to Mrs. Dashwood.)
The steele girls (Who tries to keep secret of their love from
each other, and tried to be more rich than their reality.)
Mrs.Ferrars (as she disinherited edward from her property
only because he engaged secretly.)
Robert, among others (as he got engaged with sane lady with
whom once his elder brother engaged.)
*Money/inheritance*
Laws surrounding inheritance
are what put the Dahwoods women in critical situation at the beginning of the
novel.Their lack of money, compounded with their inability to work, means that
they cannot come out from their situation, except through marrying well, and
marrying with rich guy is the only way.Money also dictates the eligibility of
Elinor and marianne, as women with langer dowries are of course seen as better
prospects for marriage.
.
· Conclusion
So that in this novel we
can see that to woman are challenges to men and also men reject to her love and
it may be that to Jane Austen ideas to sense means common sense, knowledge,
smartness and sensibility means emotion, desire and care of family. So that
here we can see that Jane Austen does not create a woman’s world – she presents
the real world, in which the limits on the conversation are those of the
knowledge and interests of the speakers, and she allows us to perceive it
through the consciousness of her heroines. Her men, for example are not
creations of female fantasy, where the writer was afraid to know or at least to
display knowledge of real masculinity and they are real men, perceived by
women.
