I Want To Feel It All

"They who suffer little may be proud and independent as they like – may resist insult or return mortification - but I can not. I must feel." Pg182

Marianne says this to Eleanor after she finds out that Willoughby is engaged and Eleanor is trying to calm her down. She is saying that she isn't going to lie to herself about how she feels. She wants to feel all of her emotions whether happy or sad. I think this shows her true character because she never hides her feelings or tells any sort of lie.
We can also see a contrast between Marianne and Eleanor once again because Eleanor believes there is no point in showing how she feels because it will just upset other people, while Marianne doesnt consider how her actions will affect others.

Revealing Love

"Remembrance of every mark regard in look or word which fell from him while at Barton, and above all to that flattering proof of it which he constantly wore round his finger." Pg97

This is an important moment in the novel because it is the first time when Eleanor actually expresses any feelings of love towards Edward. Before this point it appears that they are good friends and nothing more, but after she states this you can see that he is always on her mind and that they really are inlove because he wears her hair around his finger. From this we can also see a drastic difference in Marianne and Eleanor because Marrianne's feelings are always very obvious, where as you never really know how Eleanor is feeling.
