Sense and Sensibility Chapters 42-43

Content warnings: Covid, severe illness, death, miscarriage, and mental health.

Correction: the Yellow Fever was in 1793, not 1796!

Marianne gets so in her feelings she gets physically ill, and our first real cliffhanger. Topics discussed include hope, Grecian temples, and the friends to lovers trope.

Glossary of Terms and Phrases:

epicurism (n): the cultivation of a refined taste, as in food, art, music, etc.; connoisseurship.

Glossary of People, Places and Things: When Harry Met Sally, Red (Taylor's Version), Coldplay, Say Anything, 30 Rock, Mad Men, If We Were a Movie, The Half of It, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Ted Lasso, Why She Wrote

Study Questions: Topics discussed include Marianne's illness, the Brontës, Brandon and Elinor's responses to the illness, and the return of Willoughby.

Funniest Quote: "In dawdling through the green-house, where the loss of her favorite plants, unwarily exposed, and nipped by the lingering frost, raised the laughter of Charlotte,—and in visiting her poultry-yard, where, in the disappointed hopes of her dairy-maid, by hens forsaking their nests, or being stolen by a fox, or in the rapid decrease of a promising young brood, she found fresh sources of merriment."

Questions Moving Forward: What is Willoughby doing there? What's happening to Marianne? Will Mrs. Dashwood get there okay?

Who wins the chapters? Marianne
