Our method is to connect the statistical material gathered on frequency and distribution to a narratological analysis of the terms, with special emphasis on whether they occur within the focalization of the external narrator, or that of character-focalizers. In order to approach this task, we have availed ourselves of the narratological theories of Mieke Bal. We conclude that there is a differentiation among types of focalization in the novel that enhances the thematic structure of match-making. Although Jane Austen wrote and published her major works two centuries ago, they continue to fascinate literary scholars and general readers alike.}, number={24}, journal={Nordlit}, author={Dromnes, Tanja and Kleppe, Sandra Lee and Mikalsen, Kenneth and Solhaug, Sigrid}, year={2009}, month={Mar.}, pages={151–171} }
