Answer 2

Answer:

Although the screenwriter of the movie had some interesting ideas, the author of the book did a much better job portraying the main character.

Explanation:

The definition of portraying is to represent or to describe someone or something in different ways like painting, characters in films or books, or any other kind of artistic expression, then the best word to substitute telling the nature of is portraying since the writer is describing the character through the story in a book.
