Abstract Jane Austen was a writer in the age of rationality, which surely leaves its imprint upon her works “Pride and Prejudice”. The heroes and heroines in the novel manifest the fact that they are rationally-controlled. Such rationality, however, highlights the unusual power of emotionality when the characters finally get married after experiencing complicated love. It is absolutely a rare harmony of sense and sensibility, which displays Austen’s profound knowledge of life and her progressive thought surpassing her times. It also represents the characteristics of “the exterior rationalism and the interior romanticism” in her literary works. The article here is trying to discuss both the conflict of sense and sensibility in general and the harmony of the two in Austen’s works Pride and Prejudice. The proofs are from her own life experience. Therefore readers of Pride and Prejudice can read this novel from a different point of view and understand Austen as a different writer other than the very traditional one. On the traditional point of view, Austen was directly connected to rationality obviously. “She has little idealism, little romance, tenderness, poetry or religion.”(1) This kind of view is controversial especially in her most remarkable works Pride and Prejudice. In the book, Austen’s heroine Elizabeth has no other advantages but conspicuous spiritual world; she has even no right of heritage, but she is a noble of moral integrity. To give Austen her due, she has established her status in sensibility. If we count how much sense in her mind, that is merely the clear reasonable recognition to the percentage of sensibility in love. It is her adherence to spirit that led her heroines to the pursuit of individuality from sensibility of their own social status. If we say the heritage of realism lets Austen face up to the reality, then we can conclude that her heritage of idealism belongs to a superior level, throwing off super-facial sentimentalism while understanding the essence, that is to attach great weight to spiritual world and emphasize emotion. So it is better to summarise her character and style as harmony of sense and sensibility or “the exterior rationalism and the interior romanticism”, not just one side of the story. The proofs are both from her works and her own life experience. I. Jane Austen’s harmony between sense and sensibility is clearly displayed in her works. Sense and sensibility is an important contradiction in Austen’s works. But she has a gift of linking the two and displaying the harmony. Since the Renaissance, more and more have made an inquiry into oneself including sense and sensibility. At Austen’s era, sentimentalism over-flew. She has an acute sense of seeing the selfishness in the so-called sentimentality. Those sentimentalists plunge into their own feelings but often neglect the truth of reality. Although she is generally regarded as a representative of sense, she also emphasized sensibility not sentimentality. What she disagreed is the indulgence to unreasonable sentiment, the absoluteness of surrealistic feelings and self-righteousness. The harmony lies here: neither does she agree to money-supreme marriage nor love rejecting material base; one needs to strike a proper balance between sense and sensibility; one cannot surpass reality to reach the ideals until one has a clear-cut cognition of real life and enough courage to face it. The sensibility without sense can only be illusory, just like
