Question

Indirect characterization is ________ by the author

Answer 1

Indirect characterization is revealed by the author.

Answer 2

Indirect characterization is a literary technique used by the author

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways an author can convey information about a character:

1. Direct or explicit characterization and
2. Indirect or implicit characterization

In the first method, the author directly tells the audience or reader what a character is like. This may be done via the narrator, another character or by the character themselves.

In the second method (Indirect characterisation)

The audience must decipher for themselves what the character is like through the character's thoughts, actions, speech (choice of words, manner of speaking), physical appearance, mannerisms and interaction with other characters, including other characters' reactions to that particular person.
