<span>b.through the writer’s statements about
the character</span>
What direct characterization is is when the author
blatantly/obviously/directly tells readers about traits of a character. This does not leave anything for readers to
interpret as typically readers will infer characteristics about a character based
upon a character’s actions, thought, or words.
However, direct characterization will have the author say something
about a character like, “He always had a soft spot for anything sentimental and
would always speak politely to older people because he wished others would one
day treat him with respect when he got old.”
