Eleanor Dashwood - Mrs. Henry Dashwood and his wife are smart and reserved daughters. She represents half of Austin's "sensibility and sensitivity". She is 19 years old at the beginning of the book. She began to attend Edward Frass, her older brother-in-law brother-in-law. She became friends with Colonel Brandon who was compassionately a longtime admirer and the ultimate Marianne's husband. She always has a strong sense of responsibility towards her family and friends, puts her own welfare and interests on herself, and suppresses her strong emotions in such a way as to make him feel indifferent or indifferent to others. For example, when I learned that Lucy Steel was secretly involved with Edward, she felt very painful, but Eleanor kept keeping the secret of Lucy and did not disclose her dissatisfaction to the information . The narrative style of this book is entirely well known to third parties, which mainly reflects Eleanor's view.
