Direct characterization refers to when a narrator or author explicitly tells the reader what a character is like. This can be done through the narrator's description or commentary about the character's appearance, personality, or background. For example, the author may write, "John was a kind-hearted and generous man who always went out of his way to help others." In this case, the author is using direct characterization by directly describing John's character traits. To identify direct characterization in a story, you can look for passages or sentences where the narrator explicitly provides information about a character's traits.
