Indirect characterization is when the author or narrator reveals information about a character through their actions, thoughts, or dialogue, instead of directly telling the reader what the character is like. Some examples of indirect characterization in Romeo and Juliet include:
- Romeo's tendency to be impulsive and emotional, as shown by his decision to kill Tybalt in a fit of rage after Tybalt kills Mercutio.
- Juliet's intelligence and maturity, which is shown by her ability to think quickly and come up with a plan when she is faced with difficult situations, such as when she fakes her own death to avoid marrying Paris.
- The Nurse's loyalty to Juliet, which is shown by her willingness to help Juliet even when it puts her own safety at risk, such as when she goes to Romeo to arrange their secret wedding.
As for the second question, "conflict" in literature refers to a struggle between opposing forces that drives the plot of the story. This conflict can take many forms, such as a character struggling against an external obstacle, a character struggling against their own inner demons, or a character struggling against societal expectations or norms. TV conflict refers to the conflict that drives the plot of a television show, and can involve ongoing struggles between characters or larger, overarching conflicts that span multiple episodes or seasons.
