elinor
in the chapter ""sense and sensibility:" opinions too common and too dangerous" from her book "jane austen: women, politics, and the novel," claudia johnson also gives a feminist reading of "sense and sensibility." she differs from previous critics, especially the earliest ones, in her contention that "sense and sensibility" not, as it is often assumed to be, a "dramatized conduct book" that values "female prudence" (associated with elinor's sense) over "female impetuosity" (associated with marianne's sensibility). rather, johnson sees "sense and sensibility" as a "dark and disenchanted novel" that views "institutions of order" such as property, marriage, and family in a negative light, an attitude that makes the novel the "most attuned to social criticism" of austen's works. according to johnson, "sense and sensibility" critically examines the codes of propriety as well as their enforcement by the community. key to austen's criticism of society, per johnson's argument, is the depiction of the unfair marginalization of women resulting from the "death or simple absence of male protectors." additionally, the male characters in "sense and sensibility" are depicted unfavorably. johnson calls the gentlemen in "sense and sensibility" "uncommitted sorts" who "move on, more or less unencumbered, by human wreckage from the past." in other words, the men do not feel a responsibility to anyone else. johnson compares edward to willoughby in this regard, claiming that all of the differences between them as individuals do not hide the fact that their failures are actually identical; johnson calls them both "weak, duplicitous, and selfish," lacking the honesty and forthrightness with which austen endows other "exemplary gentlemen" in her work. johnson's comparison of edward and willoughby reveals the depressing picture about gentlemen presented in the novel.
