<u>Indirect characterization</u> reveals the personality of a character through thoughts, dialogue, actions, or physical appearance, which subtly develop and add layers to a character.

  • <u>Example:</u> <em>"Anne was holding the pen, </em><em>slowly nailing it on her skin</em><em>, wondering about the pages she had left"</em>. This <u>subtly</u> and indirectly states how Anne reacts every time she does homework with <u>action</u>.

On the other hand, <u>direct characterization</u> refers to the <u>descriptions </u>(usually through adjectives) that directly reveal how a character is, behaves, thinks, or looks.

  • <u>Example:</u> <em>"Anne was always </em><em>angry</em><em> when she did her homework"</em>. This <u>directly</u> states Anne's behavior whenever she did homework with the adjective <em>"angry"</em>.

Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.
