An example of direct characterization is an author's description of a character's appearance and personality. To identify direct characterization in a story, you need to look for instances where the author explicitly provides information about a character's traits, qualities, or features. This can include descriptions of the character's physical appearance, such as their height, hair color, and clothing style. It can also include descriptions of their personality, such as their temperament, beliefs, or motivations. By directly stating these details, the author helps the reader form an understanding of the character without needing to infer or interpret their traits from actions or dialogue.
