Marianne Warms Up to Colonel Brandono | Sense and Sensibility | Love Love

[@12classics39]

That beat of silence followed by her tentative but heartfelt “…you will not stay away long?” and his small shake of his head contains more romance than any modern R-rated film scene.

[@girl1213]

Now that she's lost her fantasies about love, she finally realizes what those love stories she loves so much were actually talking about. Williby was a wildfire, but the Colonel is warm hearth. One gave her passion but burned her badly, while the other gives her comfort as she heals and rests. Williby wouldn't do what Colonel is currently doing: sitting with her and just reading quietly to her in a quiet moment. Passion is nice to have in a relationship, but it burns out quickly and without gentle care to back it up, a marriage is doomed.

[@ash2835]

Brandon's life story is literally the stuff of tragic fantasy love that Marianne was so enamoured with in fiction. He loved someone he was not permitted to have, was forcible separated from her and spent years trying to find even after the fact, only to lose her. The man loves as deeply as she, perhaps more so. So I love that Marianne eventually came to appreciate and love him, they both deserved it. He was everything Willoughby couldn't bring himself to be.

[@kurthummelstan]

great analysis!

[@msairs]

you explained it perfectly. they love the same way and gave each other the love the other deserved

[@rowanaforrest9792]

I think this is the main reason Willoughby dislikes Brandon so much. Subconsciously (though he'll never admit it, not even to himself) he knows that Brandon is a much better man than he is. It was really bitter for Willoughby when Marianne married Brandon and they were happy, but I don't feel sorry for him.

Actually (going by this movie), I think Marianne will soon love Brandon even more than she loved Willoughby. Brandon certainly loves her more than Willoughby did. I think they're going to have an extremely happy marriage. Her passion with Willoughby flashed quickly and hot, but that kind of passion often doesn't stand the test of time. Her passion with Brandon took a while to ignite and didn't flare up fast, but it will be warm and steady and last a lifetime.

[@misspriss2482]

That's a good thing. Her love for Willoughby was shallow and cheap. She didn't even know him. She and Brandon have more than lust - they are true companions and they have fallen in love with each other's minds.

I mean this is realistic for the time. The text clearly says that they are both exceedingly happy and I am fairly certain you are missing the point of Colonol Brandon's backstory. I am pretty sure it was meant to show how similar in personality and interest Brandon and Marianne actually were. I don't think it's right to just go "oh he has baggage, therefore, he was a bad choice of husband" because Austen wrote her characters more nuanced than that. I don't claim to understand it all but I'm also not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

@@lelavelion1356 He was no baby and their being happy is irrelevant. It is clear in the novel he has a dark past and he’s only with Marianne because she reminds him of his ex. If only Brandon had the wisdom to disconnect from Marianne and move on with grace. Sadly; he did not. Even more sadly, Marianne settled for that happy but soiled bath water. So many people do that today and it eventually backfires as Jane Austen found out herself in real life but she tried to write a fictional story of what happens when one gets with someone who is bath water with a past. To be fair, she did the same with Fanny Price and Henry Crawford. Now in that case, she made it more realistic - neither ended up together and rightly so.

[@einezcrespo2107]

@@EmilyGloeggler7984 Would you rather she wounded up with Willoughby who turned out to be untrustworthy? Col Brandon may have a lot of guilt over Eliza he didn't want Marianne to end up the same way. He also didn't pursue her knowing she had preferred Willoughby over him. He had been respectful. Marianne for her part was outright too judgemental of Col Brandon because of his age. Perhaps Marianne came into his life to lift him out of his baggage which is what Jane Austen intended.
