안녕하세요?
이번주에 새로운 책을 시작합니다.
이번주에는 첫주라 책의 배경과 등장인물들을 살펴보는 위주로 하자는 의견이 있어서 이번주에는 6장까지 읽어 오시고 배경과 등장인물에 대해 정리를 해와 주시기 바랍니다.
그리고 아래에 있는 토론 주제들을 생각하시며 읽어 주시기 바랍니다.
이번주에는 1번과 2번을 위주로 이야기를 나누도록 하려고 합니다. 6장까지 읽으며 혹시 힌트가 될만한 문구를 발견했나요?

1. Talk about the significance of Austens title. What is the difference in meaning between the words "sense" and "sensibility" ... and which sister represents which word? Which word most represents your own approach to life and love? Which matters more...or are they both equally important in chosing a mate?
2. If you havent already (in question #1), discuss the differences between the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne? Does Austen seem to favor one over the other?
3. Then, of course, theres Fanny Dashwood. How does she set about working on her husband after his fathers death? Later, why does she make it clear that her brother Edward is not for Elinor? What does this suggest about the role of marriage for the upper classes?
4. Are Edwards attentions to Elinor fair and honorable? Why isnt he more open with her? Where does his honor lie—or where should it lie—with Lucy or Elinor? Do you admire him? Is he overly passive, honorable, loyal...or what?
5. What is Mariannes objection to Colonel Brandon? At times, do you find yourself sympathetic to Willoughby despite his abandonment of Marianne? Does Austen plant clues to Willoughbys character early on?
6. Talk about the other characters, as well: Sir John Middleton and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings; John Dashwood; Mrs. Ferrars; and Lucy Steele. How does Austen portray them? What about Lucy, for instance, makes her seem insincere, even when we first meet her?
7. Austen explores the function of marriage in Sense and Sensibility (actually, in most if not all of her novels). What social constraints are placed on choosing a mate and for what reasons? Do similar restraints exist today?
8. What gave a woman advantages in the marriage market in Austens time? What placed her at a disadvantage? Same for men: what made free choice in marriage difficult for them, as well?
9. In the end, does sense triumph over sensibility? Or do you think Austen is sympathetic to both perspectives? What does each sister come to learn from the other?
10. Do you find the ending satisfactory for both sisters? Do you feel the two make the right choice for happiness? Why or why not?
