Abstract: By making a profound analysis of the change of Marianne’s character and the cause of her change, this article aims to express that Marianne’s character has finally changed from sensibility to sense. The process of the change is analyzed by means of contrast. The author wants to point out that Marianne’s change of character resulted from her own effort and the help of her relatives and friends. It is an admirable change, for love cannot be based on the mirage and sense is preferable in love affairs. The article finally concludes that it is more fragile, more dangerous and easier to get hurt for women to use sensibility to guide their behavior than to use sense. In love affairs, women should have level heads, think carefully and learn to protect themselves.
Key words: Marianne; change; sense; sensibility
摘要：本文用对比的方法对玛丽安性格的变化以及变化的原因进行深入剖析，旨在表达这样一个观点：玛丽安在情感方面最终由感性转向了理性。文章认为，她的转变得益于她自身的努力以及家人和朋友的帮助。这一转变是值得赞赏的，因为爱情不能建立在虚无缥缈的海市蜃楼中，只有理性才更可取。最后，文章得出这样一个结论，女性靠感情指导行动比靠理智指导行动更脆弱，更易受伤害，也更危险。女性应该保持冷静的头脑，多思考,才能更好地学会保护自己。
