7. Characterization
Definition: Characterization is the process of presenting the different aspects of character and personality of someone in a novel or short story.
As readers, how do we learn about characters?
What they say (dialogue)
What they do (actions)
What they think (interior monologue)
What they have and wear
Where they are
The people with whom they associate
What others say about them
Through the author’s direct statement

8. Types of Characterization
Direct
tells the audience what the personality of the character is.
Example: “The polite boy and friendly girl were both well behaved and did not disobey their parents.”
Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children.
Indirect
shows things that reveal the personality of a character.
What clues do we, as readers, have to look for?

9. Protagonist : Antagonist:
Types of Characters
Protagonist :
The central figure. The person/thing that drives the novel. Not necessarily heroic.
Antagonist:
Represents obstacles that the protagonist must face. Stands directly opposed to the protagonist.

10. Types of Characters
Flat: Embody or represent a single characteristic, trait, or idea. They are not developed.
Why would an author not develop a character?
Round: Complex, multi-dimensional, and developed, embodying a number of qualities and traits.
Usually the main character of a novel.
Think of examples.
Static: The character does not change. Supporting Characters. Sidekicks.
Why not have a main character change
Dynamic: The character changes.
Physical change must also reflect change in self (insight, understanding, or value)
