Sense and Sensibility: An Ironic Exposé on the Economics of Marriage Sense and Sensibility is the second novel written by Jane Austen and the first to be pub- lished. It is full of satiric wit‚ and for this reason is often grouped with the Juvenilia and Northanger Abbey as an immature effort that Austen made before finding her true literary voice. Irony‚ however‚ makes it easier to pinpoint Austen’s feelings on social customs. In addition‚ her irony is entertaining‚ often making the first books

Place des Fêtes – Oliver Schmitz In South African filmmaker Oliver Schmitz’s "Place des Fêtes"‚ a povertous musician dying on a street corner meets the great love of his life. Easily one of "Paris Je T’aime"’s most tragic short tales‚ Schmitz’s unfulfilled love story spoke to me as one of the best films of "Paris Je T’aime"‚ perhaps even one of the greatest short films I’d seen yet. We begin on the engraved walls of the obelisk outside of the titular Place des Fêtes. As the camera moves downward

Sense and Sensibility. New York: Alfred A. Knopf‚ Inc.‚ 1992. 367. Below is a review of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Austen incorporates many similarities throughout her other novels exemplifying themes such as: the role of women‚ ideal love‚ and social classes and hierarchies. I would not consider Sense and Sensibility to be Austen’s best novel as the conclusion is hasty and does not follow the same rate of progression like the other part of the novel; however‚ this fault can be forgiven
