It was during the Classical period and its accompanying cultural Enlightenment that the novel first developed as a literary genre. She never loses sight of propriety, economic practicalities, and perspective, as when she reminds Marianne (impulsive, independent) that their mother would not be able to afford a pet horse or that it is indecorous for her to go alone with Willoughby to Allenham. Elinor represents the characteristics associated with eighteenth-century neo-classicism, including rationality, insight, judgment, moderation, and balance. CONTEXT: Austen wrote this novel around the turn of the eighteenth century, on the cusp between two cultural movements: Classicism and Romanticism. In contrast, Marianne, her younger sister, represents qualities of "sensibility": emotion, spontaneity, impulsiveness, and rapturous devotion. SUMMARY: Difference between "sense" and "sensibility" Characters: Elinor, the older sister, represents qualities of "sense": reason, restraint, social responsibility, and a clear-headed concern for the welfare of others.
