She is among the first English women to break the male monopoly of novel writing. Her brilliantly witty, elegantly structured satirical novels vividly described the life of the common people in the countryside .Her mainly literary concern is about human beings in their social relationships. Her novels reveal in a subtle determined manner, the beauty of women （not only physical beauty）, and their longing for freedom in the marriage life. There are ６ great woks in her life such as Sense and Sensibility （１８１１）, Pride and Prejudice （１８１３）, Mansfield Park （１８１４）, Emma （１８１６）, Northanger Abbey （１８１８）, Persuation （１８１８）. Jane Austen can match with Shakespeare and Dickens in the history of literature by her famous novels. H.W. Wollber, a famous English scholar, has a great remark：“In this world, it is a comedy to understand by reason, while a tragedy by emotion” （Edward Corpland, ２００１ The Cambridge companion to Jane Austen）. Jane Austen writes many famous comedies by her reason. Just as George Henry Lewes pointed that the quintessence of Austen’s art is seriousness. Austen’s comedies can help people to realize their mistakes or shortcomings. Austen’s novels are mainly concerned with young women’s social growth and self—discovery. Nearly all of them explore a consistent theme that maturity is achieved through the loss of the illusions. Faults of character displayed by the people of her novels are corrected, when, through various trials and misunderstandings, lessons are learned. １．２ The general knowledge of Sense and Sensibility. Among her works, I’d like to analyze Sense and Sensibility . This work, which Austen writes with her usual irony, humour and profound sensitivity, turns upon the tension between desire and discretion in a women’s society in England in the １８ th century. Given the social and financial system which is so systematically heartless in its treatment of women, and in which marriage must seem first of all important as a step towards material prosperity or its reverse, the question whether a young woman has sense or sensibility itself becomes touched with irony. The Dashwood family holds center stage in the novel. Mrs Dashwood and her three daughters, forced by the avaricious daughter—in—law, have to leave Sussex and move to Dever. For the sensible daughter Elinor, the move is a painful separation from the man he loves. However, her sister Marianne finds in the new place the romance which she loves. Elinor is a woman of good sense, while Marianne is the creature of sensibility. When they find the man they love have other lovers, one controls her emotion, and the other lets her emotion controls her actions. ２．０ The two sisters’ view of love. ２．１ Elinor’s attitude of love. Elinor, the older sister, whose advice is so effectual, possesses a strength of understanding, and coolness of judgement, which qualified her, though only １９, to be the counsellor of her mother, and enable her frequently to counteract, to the advantage of the them all, that eagerness of mind in Mrs Dashwood which must generally have lead to imprudence. She has a gentle disposition and a strong feeling. With the sober judgement and special view, she knows how to control her feelings. “It was a knowledge which her mother had yet to learn; and which one of her sisters had resolved never to be taught”（Jane Austen, ２００１ Sense and Sensibility :５）. She is good at dealing with the housework and relationships with other people. When she knows that her lover, Edward, is betrothed, we can’t find there is anything wrong with her. “When she is injured, she can try her best to control her feelings in order to let her mother and her sister not know the truth. Elinor has ‘an excellent heart’, and strong feelings as well as prudence. The。
