What are some really good quotes for "characterization" in the short story

Indirect Characterization

"Rainsford sprang up and moved quickly to the rail." "When he opened his eyes he knew from the position of the sun that it was late in the afternoon." "He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find--the print of hunting boots."

For all of the sentences above, Rainsford can be defined as nimble (quick), intelligent, and knowledgeable. His quick movement to the rail illustrates his nimbleness, while his knowledge of the position of the sun illustrates his intelligence. His expectations that he will find bootprints show his knowledge about hunting or tracking.  

Direct Characterization

"The first thing Rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man Rainsford had ever seen--a gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist." "Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage."

Here, the reader has no question about Ivan. He is a huge, muscular man with a very long black beard. Zaroff openly describes him as strong, deaf (unable to hear), and dumb (mute--unable to speak).

In paragraph 4, why did the<br> narrator spend so much time<br> describing the house of Usher
Pavlova-9 [17]

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is the answer to this query.

A work of gothic literature with themes of lunacy, family, loneliness, and metaphysical identities is "The Fall of the House of Usher." In "The Fall of the House of Usher" the narrator calls Usher's own artistic creations powerful, horrifying, and indecent.

This narrative has an anonymous narrator.

American author Edgar Allan Poe wrote a narrative short story titled "The Fall of the House of Usher"

Poe's nameless narrator is invited to the House of Usher by Roderick Usher in "The Fall of the House of Usher"

The narrator believes that the house's inside is equally eerie as its outside. He makes his way to the chamber where Roderick is waiting by navigating the lengthy hallways. Roderick seems paler and less animated than he used to be, the man observes. Roderick claims to the narrator that he has anxiety, terror, and heightened senses. The narrator also observes that Roderick appears to be frightened of his own home. Madeline, Roderick's sister, has fallen ill with an unknown illness—possibly catalepsy, which causes limb loss of control—that the medical professionals are unable to cure. The narrator tries to cheer Roderick up over several days.
