that makes people happy - love.Another "sad" story is the marriage of Mr. Wickham with Elizabeth's sister Lydia. The only reason of this marriage was infatuation. Neither of them had money to sustain the living standard they were used to. This relationskip lacked any sense and that is also wrong, because once the infatuation fades away, there is nothing else left. The people do not really know each other, sometimes they do not even have anything in common. Are they happy?From these examples we can see that there is always a struggle between sense and sensibility. What should prevail? According to Jane Austen, there should be a ballance between these two imporant factors. An example of this ballance are marriages of Jane and Elizabeth. Elizabeth understood well the advice of her aunt and did not let herself to get involved with a man she could love and respect but with whom the relationship would not be acceptable because of the money. Elizabeth fell in love wih Mr. Darcy, who was not only a wealthy man but also a man she could love and respect.Sources: Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice; Penguin Popular Classisc 1994...
