12. Characterization

13. Characterization
Literary device used to explain the traits of a character in a story.
Information is expressed in two ways:
Direct -> The character’s information is shared by the narrator, another character, or the character themselves.
Example -> Johnny was a poor depressed soul but he had the heart of a lion.
Indirect -> The character’s information is shared subtly. The reader must deduce the character’s information via the thoughts, actions, and appearance of the character.
Example -> Johnny stated defiantly, “ I will not give in to my oppressors!”

Flat: A stock character that undergoes no change but can add to the story. Protagonist: The main character, or hero, of a story. Antagonist: The adversary of the hero. The “bad guy”.
