Weymouth is a small vacation town that sits on the coast. It is important to Austen because she used to write to Cassandra, who was staying in Weymouth and "[made] fun of the town's mundane problems rather than its celebrity culture or gossip" (Easton 152). It is refered to as the vacation spot where Tom Bertram met John Yates in Weymouth, when Mr. Yates was disappointed in his first attempt to act in a private theatrical of Lovers' Vows.
