Direct Characterization direct characterization: the author or narrator makes direct statements about a character’s traits. The author tells us about the character’s personality to our face.

The boy is “patient” and the girl is “quiet.”

Indirect Characterization Indirect characterization: the author or narrator reveals a character’s traits through his or her actions and speech. SHOWING When Jane walked in the room, nobody could help but look at her stunning, gorgeous face. She commanded attention wherever she went due to her good looks. Jane is beautiful. Jim was very unlike any other businessman. He made sure that all his clients got what they had paid for. Jim is honest and hardworking.
