Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers
of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers
conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions. If we look at all of the possible answers for
this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine
characteristics. One, however, blatantly
speaks of how old a person is. With the
words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about
the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct
characterization.
