<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.

Write a short text about Charles dickens and his books. Also some interesting facts but not too long
Iteru [2.4K]

Charles Dickens was the most remarkable Victorian writer. While he was alive, his works counted with great popularity among all social classes, especially with proletariat, a class which dreadful conditions Dickens denounced through his novels.

When he was twelve years old, he found himself in the necessity to work to help in his home. Despite things got better and there was no need of Charles' money in the house, his mother was not willing to let him stop working and that was a decision the future author of <em>Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities </em>and <em>Oliver Twist</em>, among others, would never forget or forgive.

Orphanhood, poverty, upper classes' abuse, proletariat, loneliness and the promise of and ending that would heal the characters' suffering throughout the story, are the main element of a novelist whose purpose was not only to entertain, but to raise awareness of how the difference between social classes made the most vulnerable pay for their uncommitted sins.
