In indirect characterization, the character's traits are indirectly revealed meaning that the audience must use details from the piece to infer the character's traits. An example of this would be how Scrooge does nothing but count money and talk about how he can get more money. It shows that he is miserly and greedy. Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells you a character's traits. An example would be if Dickens had said, "Scrooge is a greedy, miserly old man."
