5. Ch 3: Characterization Commercial Fiction: Plot > Characterization
Why do commerical stories often feature simple, one- dimensional chaacters who ate simply “good” or “bad”?
Literary Fiction: Plot < Characterization
Literary writers more concerns with complexity, variability, and ambiguity of people
Plot = What characters do
Characterization = Who a character is

6. Characterization is the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character.
Direct Characterization tells the audience what the personality of the character is.
Example: “The patient boy and 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 a character. There are five different methods of indirect characterization:

7. Principles of Effective Characterization
Dramatization
Consistency
Motivation
Plausibility

8. S.T.E.A.L. Speech: Thoughts: Effect on others: Actions: Looks:
What does the character say?
How does the character speak?
Thoughts:
What is revealed through the character’s private thoughts and feelings?
Effect on others:
What is revealed through the character’s effect on other people?
How do other characters feel or behave in reaction to the character?
Actions:
What does the character do?
How does the character behave?
Looks:
What does the character look like?
How does the character dress?

10. PURPLE = Frank; GREEN = Tub; BLUE = KENNY
“Hunters in the Snow”
As we read, pay careful attention to how the author characterizes the individuals in the story…
Use the three different colored sticky notes to annotate (one per character). Focus on using the textual evidence (what they say, think, effect, act, and look) to make inferences into WHO they are.
PURPLE = Frank; GREEN = Tub; BLUE = KENNY
