<span>The correct answer is indirect characterization.
Remember that direct characterization is when an author directly reveals traits about the character. For example, writing that "Paul was an angry man." is an example of direct characterization because the author is directly telling the reader about Paul.
On the other hand, indirect characterization occurs when a writer shows the character's personality. This is often done through speech, actions, or appearance. The fact that none of the sailors from the dock want to sail with Captain Jaggery tells us a lot about Jaggery's character -- namely, that he must not be a very nice person.</span>
Indirect characteruzation is when an author gives you a clue fo what some character is by how those that sourround him think of him or how they act around him, it´s not something that directly tells you how he is, or how a certain character acts, but how the other perceive him, that gives you an idea of how is his personality and how does he act.
