* MutualPining: Elinor and Edward's feelings are very much mutual, but Edward being too loyal to his engagement to Lucy gets in the way of them doing anything about it. The "pining" is twofold for Elinor in that she simultaneously tries to believe that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Edward should be happy with Lucy]] while also knowing that Lucy is a BitchInSheepsClothing and that Elinor seemingly can't do much about it.

** Mr. Willoughby runs away and impregnates a naive fifteen year old girl of illegitimate birth, essentially ruining her already slim chances of marrying well. He also abandons Marianne, leaving her with a despair that nearly kills her. Despite all that, he marries a shallow, wealthy woman named Miss Sophia Grey, and while its mentioned that he doesn't share the same affinity with Miss Grey as he does with Marianne, the two live comfortably in the end. It's even pointed out that the one consequence of his actions - that he will always love Marianne and regret not marrying her - would probably have just been inverted; he would be moaning about having no money instead of having a boring wife.

* * [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Mrs. Ferrars's attempt to punish Edward by settling the estate on Robert just makes Lucy dump Edward and go after the newly independent Robert, and Mrs. Ferrars, having lost all her leverage, is powerless to prevent the wedding. As a kicker, Edward is actually thrilled to have an honourable escape from Lucy, and Robert probably would have been perfectly happy to marry Miss Morton if that had been a condition of his receiving the estate.

Elinor derives some bitter amusement from knowing that ''Lucy'' is the one who wants to ruin Mrs. Ferrars' ambitions for her son's marriage and even drops a hint to Lucy that the situation would be quite different if the secret engagement became known.
