Answer:

This excerpt is an example of direct characterization because A. the author openly states a character's traits.

Explanation:

After reading the excerpt, we know that the character is a woman who is wise and experienced and who knows what's best for herself and for children. The reason why we have that knowledge is the fact that the author told us these traits directly. We did not have to guess them through the character's own deeds, words, or thoughts - indirect characterization. It was the narrator's own description of her that fed us this information.

Direct characterization is, thus, an explicit characterization. It is the author telling us what the character is like through the narrator or another character.

Why does Hamlet comment on Alexander the Great when he is looking at all the skulls on the ground?
Fiesta28 [93]
Hamlet comments on Alexander the Great in this scene, because when he holds up Horatio's skull, he thinks about how it does not matter who a person is during his or her lifetime, all people are the same once they die. He goes on to describe that even a person as prominent as Alexander the Great will rot and decay like everyone else, regardless of his importance during his lifetime.
