Defining Characterization Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of the character. This happens through direct and indirect characterization – Direct Characterization: tells the audience what the personality of the character is. Example: “The patient boy and the quiet girl were both well mannered and did not disobey their mother.” Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children. The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.” Indirect Characterization: shows things that reveal the personality of the character. There are five different methods of indirect characterization SpeechWhat does the character say? How does the character speak? ThoughtsWhat is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings? Effect on others towards the character What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people? How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character? ActionsWhat does the character do? How does the character behave? LooksWhat does the character look like? How does the character dress?
