"Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first novel. The first draft was the epistolary novel "Eleanor and Marianne" written in 1796. It was later rewritten into "Sense and Sensibility" in November 1797. For more than ten years, "Sense and Sensibility" became silent. It was not until March 1811 that Austen revealed in a letter that she was in London looking at the proofs of the book. The book was published on October 30 of that year. The novel revolves around the mate selection activities of the two heroines, focusing on revealing the unhealthy trend in British society at that time of using marriage as a way for women to seek economic security and improve their economic status, as well as the ugly fashion of focusing on family status regardless of women's feelings and human rights. Both heroines in the novel pursue equal communication and exchange of thoughts and feelings with men, demand equal rights in social status, and insist on independent observation, analysis, and freedom to choose men. In Britain at the time, this was almost a cry of defiance. As the title of the book reflects, the story focuses on the conflict between "reason" and "emotion". The heroine Eleanor is both emotional and rational, which represents the author's ideal on this issue, that is, people cannot be without emotions, but emotions should be restricted by reason.

The second is the world of learning. Scholars immerse themselves in knowledge. They are unfortunate because they are abandoned by the world, but they are lucky because they escape from the hustle and bustle of the world.
