Sense and Sensibility (film)/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Toward the end of the movie, when Edward comes calling to the Dashwood ladies. This is after the women had heard that Elinor's rival for Edward's affection - Lucy - had gotten married. During the awkward exchanges, Edward reveals that Lucy had in fact married Edward's younger brother. Elinor's reaction upon hearing that is pure CMoF, but this falls under Heartwarming because of the joyous grin on Elinor's face, and from what Margaret reports spying from her treehouse:

Margaret: He's kneeling down!

Edward: Elinor. Elinor, I met Lucy when I was very young. Had I an active profession, I should never have felt such an idle and foolish inclination. My behavior at Norland was very wrong, but I convinced myself that you felt only friendship for me, and that it was my heart alone that I was risking. I have come here with no expectations, only to profess, now that I am at liberty to do so, that my heart is, and always will be... yours.

  • Colonel Brandon's smile when he marries Marianne. It makes him look something like ten years younger than he looked in the rest of the movie.
