English

Sav [38]3 years ago

The sentences that are examples of direct characterization are:

Frank was a very tall man, and managed to immediately intimidate most people he met.

The door opened and in came ridiculous Reginald, as dapper and debonair as ever.

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device referring to the way an author represents the characters of a story to his readers. There are two different approaches to characterization:

  • Direct (explicit) characterization - the narrator, protagonist or another character tells about the character and its traits.
  • Indirect (implicit) characterization - the audience finds out more about the character by observing its appearance, behavior, thought process, speech, communication with other characters, and the response of other characters to it.

The option you were given are the following:

  • Frank was a very tall man, and managed to immediately intimidate most people he met.
  • The door opened and in came ridiculous Reginald, as dapper and debonair as ever.
  • I looked down the hall and laughed at the sight of little Janine struggling with her enormous suitcase.
  • “Well,” said Jules, “as you know, I’ve never cared much for Sir Henry. He’s completely out of touch with commoners like ourselves.”

The two sentences that are examples of direct characterization are:

  • Frank was a very tall man, and managed to immediately intimidate most people he met.
  • The door opened and in came ridiculous Reginald, as dapper and debonair as ever.

These sentences describe the characters directly and reveal some particular information about them. The third sentence isn't really an example of characterization (except for the detail <em>little</em>, but it's more of a description of an action), while the fourth sentence is an example of indirect characterization, as we find out something about the character from dialogue of other characters.
