You have taken away from those passages exactly what Austen wanted you to take away from them - Marianne doesn't get to marry for love, she gets to marry out of a sense of obligation and because it's what everyone else wants. Just because the traditional happy ending of a romance is "woman marries right man" doesn't mean "she married him, so he must be the right man".

You have to be really careful with Austen not to take things at face value. The statement that Marianne becomes as devoted to Colonel Brandon as she had once been to Willoughby has to be read in the knowledge that Willoughby was a piece of shit.

Wow. You are an idiot. That isn't what Austen wanted you to take out of that at all. ALL Austen's heroines marry for love. She SAYS THAT IN HER LETTERS YOU IDIOT.
