Sensiblity = virtue ? Written by CarolTS (10/2/2009 6:02 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Pretending Sensibility?, penned by Robbin

Are you saying that sensibility equals virtue then? I just see sensibility as a personality mainly - an overly enthusiastic view of life and the resulting expression of it. I think morality would be a completely separate issue. To me, it's completely possible for Willoughby to be amoral and express himself with bewitching sensibility - those aren't opposites in any way. That's how I see him, actually.
