Answer:
The two sentences that show how the author develops the theme of love through Elinor's characterization are:
* Elinor is blind to Marrianne's criticism of Edward
* Elinor defends Edward by listing the traits that she has observed in him.
Explanation:
The novel "sense and sensibility" by Jane Austen portray love from different points of view since each character develops the topic according to their traits, Elinor has a generous and selfless love, she never shows how she actually feels and never gives an opinion that can not be stated by facts, tries to be the most unbiased as possible, and even when her feelings are deep she does not make them external as Marianne does.
