Sense and Sensibility Lesson Plan

Relationship to Other Books

Sense and Sensibility is quite similar to Austen's other novels in terms of tone and subject matter, dealing primarily with the trials and tribulations of the love lives of the wealth English upper-class. Consider reading Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion for characters who follow Marianne's and Elinor's molds in different circumstances.

Consider the work of the Brontë sisters, including Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

A number of contemporary adaptations exist of Sense and Sensibility, including the film From Prada to Nada and Lauren Edmunson's novel Ladies of the House.
