about

The original source material was written by Jane Austen in the early 1800s. She wrote her books about women and the struggles they faced as mostly middle class during a time when they were afforded so little rights.

The titular theme is the dichotomy of acting by one's head verses one's heart. This is a modern AU based on the same thought. Marianne's fate is often thought as "not everyone gets a Mr. Darcy", a call back to the realistic plight of women of her day. As a modern day women, she is more focused on her and her family's fate as classism still plays a prevalent role in today's culture.

history

Growing up upper middle class in England, Marianne is the second daughter, but third in line. Having stayed home when her father began to get sick after college, his condition only worsened. He passed away less than a year beforehand.

But her father's death is only the beginning of her story only starts at the end of his. Due to a loophole in her father's will, neither her, her sisters, nor her mother got any of their father's sizable fortune. Instead her brother got it all, and her sister-in-law has made sure that none of the Dashwood girls have seen a penny.

Cast out of her childhood home, the four Dashwood women find a small apartment and are now forced to a very simple life.
