What differentiates them, and gives this extraordinary book its complexity and brilliance, is the \u003ci\u003eway \u003c\/i\u003eeach expresses her suffering: Marianne-young, impetuous, ardent-falls into paroxysms of grief when she is rejected by the dashing John Willoughby; while her sister, Elinor--wiser, more sensible, more self-controlled--masks her despair when it appears that Edward Ferrars is to marry the mean-spirited and cunning Lucy Steele.
