Elinor Dashwood (Sense And Sensibility)
Chapter 3
Elinor Dashwood has an enormous condescension and patience. She stands and supports with greatest ease any character. She does not have the impertinence of an Emma or a Lizzie's boldness not even the impudence of her own sister, Marianne ... No, Elinor knows how to be in society and treats everyone with a placid manner, supporting the most atrocious and unjust comments and never overwhelming, always maintaining an "annoying" dignity that destroys any improper remark coming from a Mrs. Jennings or a comment that skim the insult coming from a Mrs. Ferrars or a Fanny Dashwood.
Unlike many of the other Austen's heroines, Elinor knows how to act in society without causing disturbances, without generating frictions; is almost impossible to point out a flaw in Elinor, all the intrigues that are generated around her are caused by simple hateful envy, because they can't find a single flaw in her, therefore, they use Dashwood's lack of money to decrease her - since they can't find anything else. The importance of Elinor is her strong character, steadfast, determined, her humility and her kindness.
Elinor is not entirely indifferent to the malevolent comments of the future mother in law and sister in law, we know that it hurt, but she knows how to overcome them, turn it over so the top and comes with a polite indifference that make me rejoice as I read certain passages. Elinor is, both in character and in intelligence, superior to any of them and so is she who laughs last. In it there are no contradictions, his conduct is regular and constant and that is what makes it so sublime in my eyes, taking over the top spot in my preferences in relation to the heroines of Jane Austen. Elinor is true to itself, does not act with subterfuge, not cynicism serves to gain friendships, she acts in society naturally without impulses, because he knows assess at the outset, the good and the less good characters, answering all the the occasion. It is somehow your estoicidade (apparent) and that captivates me is the depth of your feelings that I fall.Unlike many of the other Austen's heroines, Elinor knows how to act in society without causing disturbances, without generating frictions; is almost impossible to point out a flaw in Elinor, all the intrigues that are generated around her are caused by simple hateful envy, because they can't find a single flaw in her, therefore, they use Dashwood's lack of money to decrease her - since they can't find anything else.
