"go shake your ears"
"O good Antonio"
"a mellifluous voice"
"O good Antonio" is not an example of indirect characterization.
The phrase "a mellifluous voice" is not an example of indirect characterization.
To determine which of the three choices is not an example of indirect characterization, let's first understand what indirect characterization means. Indirect characterization refers to the process of revealing a character's traits or personality indirectly through their actions, thoughts, dialogue, appearance, or other character's perceptions of them.
Now, let's analyze each of the given choices:
1. "go shake your ears": This statement does not provide any insight or information about a character's traits or personality. It appears to be an imperative or command, but it does not reveal any indirect characterization.
2. "O good Antonio": Here, the word "good" is an adjective used to describe Antonio. This indicates that Antonio is perceived as a person of positive or admirable qualities by the speaker. This statement indirectly characterizes Antonio as "good," providing us with insight into his character.
3. "a mellifluous voice": This phrase describes a character's voice as "mellifluous," meaning it is melodious or pleasant to hear. This indirectly characterizes the character as having a pleasant or attractive quality, specifically related to their vocal abilities.
Considering the explanations above, it becomes clear that the statement "go shake your ears" does not provide any form of indirect characterization. Therefore, the correct answer is "go shake your ears" as the choice that is not an example of indirect characterization.
