sh when there is a problem. The                   resemblance of Austen and Marianne was that the two of them had romantic                   feelings and dreams. They also lived their lives as being poor. Both Austen                   and Marianne are very dedicated to their family. Happiness will come to the                   ones who wait patiently for their dreams or goals. Marianne fell deeply in love                   with a man named John Willoughby. She looked at John like he was the guy                   of her dreams because he shared the same interest as she did. During the time                   the two were together, everything was very merry.

Whenever there was                   a dilemma, she would be the responsible daughter and handle the problem.                   Elinor is a strong women, she was accountable for her duties.
