Answer:

Indirect characterization.

Step-by-step explanation:

This type consists of the author showing the audience how the character is by his thoughts, words, and deeds. The author does this because in drama, unlike verse and epic, there is no narrator.

It takes more time to develop a character through indirect characterization but leaves a deeper impression in the audience or readers. It does this because the reader must make inferences about why the character act in a certain way.

I hope this answer helps you.
