Character analysis - basics

Direct and indirect characterization

Direct Characterization
Imagine the author shining a spotlight on a character. They explicitly tell us about traits, appearances, and personality.

Indirect Characterization
This one is more like detective work. We infer traits through actions, words and thoughts and other characters' perspectives.

Read the sentences and select the correct answer.

The structure of a character analysis is important! It help the reader follow your line of thought. When writing your own analysis, make sure to include references and examples.

Sort the paragraphs according to the following structure: introduction, motivation, conflicts and relationships, character type and conclusion.
