What is the difference between direct and indirect characterization?
Indirect characterization shows things that reveal the personality of the character while direct characterization tells the audience what the character's personality is.
Direct characterization reveals character traits through thoughts only while indirect reveals the character traits through other things.
Indirect characterization relies on the reader's ability to determine the setting and plot, and direct characterization tells you what the setting and plot are.
Direct characterization is always used, but indirect characterization is not commonly used in writing.
