Abstract:: This thesis takes a close look at how Jane Austen uses a specific form of character development to give depth to certain characters in Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park. By using implicit association, Austen is able to create a connection between character and place to better solidify the personalities of her characters. Elements of the picturesque and landscaping are discussed in relation to the way Austen creates her characters’ interior selves. Gendering of rooms is also mentioned in conjunction with this form of character development. Through this implicit characterization, her characters’ personality traits become explicit.
