* Just Elinor and Colonel Brandon's friendship. It's wonderful how a romance novel from the 1800s is able to achieve what is ''still'' a point of debate regarding love stories to this day; how can one write a purely platonic but heartfelt friendship between a (presumably straight) female and male character?

* Mrs. Jennings and Sir John's reaction when Willoughby's engagement to Miss Grey is revealed. There's never a question about Marianne's reputation--everyone of their acquaintance roundly condemns ''him'' for raising her hopes and then callously destroying them in a transparently GoldDigger move. And they even exert themselves ''not'' to mention Willoughby when Marianne is around so as to avoid upsetting her (although Elinor is forced to hear their continuous rehashing of the matter).

He is genuinely concerned when Marianne becomes ill, and wants to stay at Cleveland so that he can help her recover. He also doesn't any annoyance when forced to vacate his house (during Easter, nonetheless), so that Marianne can recover.

* When Fanny Dashwood is commenting on Marianne's prospects after the incident with Willoughby, she remarks that she will be considered "damaged goods". Colonel Brandon knew what her reputation would be... and he still married her. It's true that he could more or less do what he liked, being a man of means with a sizeable estate, but [[Literature/PrideAndPrejudice Darcy]], who had similar wealth and status, felt reluctant to propose to Elizabeth because of the social embarrassment of having the Bennetts as in-laws. Brandon doesn't even seem to consider what society will think.

* Elinor's reaction when Willoughby coldly breaks up with Marianne via letter and [[TakeBackYourGift returns all her letters and lock of hair]]. For all the disagreements they've had and their differences in temperament, the first thing Elinor does when she finds Marianne is to take her hand, kiss her, and just silently hold her while Marianne cries.
* Marianne's spirited defense of Elinor's artwork when Mrs. Ferrars sneers at it. Even though it attracts more notice than the sneer itself, it just shows how much she loves Elinor. (And Colonel Brandon's regard is increased all the more to see her refuse to sit idly by while Elinor is abused.)
