Elinor and Marianne offer a sharp and striking contrast in the novel Sense and Sensibility. There is a contrast between their physical appearances; and there is an even bigger contrast between their temperaments, their natures, and their mental and moral make-ups. Elinor has a delicate complexion, regular features, and a remarkably pretty figure. Marianne is even more beautiful.
