"Well, in that case you behaved in a disgusting way," Digory rebuked him.

-Repugnant! He exclaimed with a puzzled expression. Well, I get it. Do you want
Say that children should keep their promises."

1. Is this quote an example of direct or indirect characterization?
2. Why is this direct or indirect characterization?

Answer 1

1. This quote is an example of Direct characterization.
2. Direct characterization happens when the author explicitly tells the reader what he or she wants us to learn about the character. Indirect characterization occurs when the author shows the reader parts of the character that helps them understand the character's personality and its effect on other characters.

Answer 2

Direct

Step-by-step explanation:

Its direct characterization because Digory says " you behaved in a disgusting way" which tells a character's personality in a straightfoward, firm way and does not hint their actions or description.

Example:

Direct: Jace was a generous man.

Indirect: Jace helped the old lady cross the street.

Jace's action in the indirect sentence ONLY hints how he was generous. The direct sentence says it in a straightfoward, direct way.

I hope this sort of helps
