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.
Connotation involves all of the positive and negative things associated with a word. Words with the same denotation (meaning) can have very different connotations.
