What is the major conflict in the novel Sense and Sensibility
The major conflict or problem in the novel is the protagonists' challenge in finding proper husbands. The two girls are very different, as Elinor uses her good sense in choosing a man worthy of her love. Marianne, however, is ruled by sensibility and suffers a broken heart..... at least until she gets her sense back.
