Colonel Brandon:
- silent and gray, appearance not unpleasing...sensible, gentlemanly
- not sparkly
- to Marianne: absolute old bachelor, Willoughby joins in opinion that he is not worth noticing
- likes that Marianne is endlessly romantic, “and yet there is something so amiable in the prejudcies of a young mind, that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions” (43) shows a new more sensitive side of him. He doesn't want her to be crushed in love.
- Elinor likes him for being simple, reserved, respectable
- The way he responds to Marianne in the way he wants to protect her maybe so strong because he has a daughter.
- Haunted, mysterious
- stubborn when he needs to be shown when he goes into town
- Foil to Willoughby
Does Elinor still care for Edward?
She cannot stand for his name to
became one of Ms. Jenning's jokes, so she does.
pg. 46
Willoughby:
- very attractive, graceful, young spirited, pg 37
- good abilities... spirited... perfect fit with Marriane, endlessly interesting, interest in music, dancing, art and passages
- when her and Marianne are together they are completely immature
- sense side shown when her must go to London for business and leave Marianne
- trivial/immature/petty shown in his description for the three reasons his dislikes Colonel Brandon
- Is he trustworthy? Questioned
Edward:
- “distrusts his own judgement”, absence of confidence and artistic taste
- sense, goodness, sweet intentions
- “plain and boring” to Marianne
- His mother and sister are very involved in his life → not very confident
Narrator:
- Mrs. Dashwood just falls in love with Edward, skips liking and hurries along marriage. Marianne and Mrs. Dashwood both through their overzealous imaginations believe Edward and Elinor to be engaged (pg. 15) mocks sensibility, quickness of attatchment
- Mr. John Dashwood is eventually manipulated into thinking that he needs money from them rather than giving any money away (pg. 22) exposing/ mocking greed
- 'there should always be a kid at the party' (pg. 25) makes fun of small talk
