In the movie version of Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet, Marianne reads Sonnet 116:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
marianne symbolizes sensibility and elinor symbolizes sense
Sense and Sensibility was about the lives and loves of two sisters, Marianne Dashwood and Elinor Dashwood.
In the 1995 movie version of Sense and Sensibility, the part of Marianne is played by Kate Winslet. In the 2008 miniseries, Marianne is played by Charity Wakefield.
I think the scene that provides a turning point in Sense and Sensibility is the ball in London, where Marianne sees Willoughby and realizes he is not to be hers.
These are two different Jane Austen novels we're talking about: Pride and Prejudice - Mr Darcy is proud; Elizabeth Bennet is prejudiced. Sense and Sensibility - Eleanor Dashwood has sense; Marianne Dashwood has sensibility.
According to Wikipedia, Elinore is 19 at the beginning of the book, Marianne is 16, and Margaret is 13.
The two main characters in Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" are Elinor Dashwood and Marianne Dashwood, two sisters who navigate love, societal expectations, and personal growth in the novel.
Yes she is. Kate Winslet plays Marianne Dashwood.

Sense and Sensibility is a book about the Eleanor and Marianne Dashwood, who are sisters; they are the heroines. The book deals with their relationships with men they fall in love with, with the emotional and moral issues their love presents, and with how they deal with those issues.
Sense as it pertains to the novel parallels with Elinor's character. Elinor is very reasonable and realistic and doesn't like to show her emotions. Sensibility parallels with Marianne who is extremely emotional and romantic. She makes a show of her emotion and is very impulsive so she does whatever she feels without thinking of the consequences (sidenote: the book was at one point called Elinor and Marianne before it changed to Sense and Sensibility)
In "Sense and Sensibility," the climax occurs when Marianne falls seriously ill after learning Willoughby's betrayal. This event prompts her to reevaluate her romantic ideals and opens the door to her eventual relationship with Colonel Brandon. It also marks a turning point in the novel's focus from passionate sensibility to practical sense.
