Question

What is direct characterization

The devices and methods an author uses to craft a story
When the reader must deduce a character’s traits through actions, dialogue, and interactions with other characters
When a narrator tells the reader what a character is like
A person, animal, thing, or being that is treated like a person in a story

Answer 1

Direct characterization is when a narrator tells the reader what a character is like. This method involves explicitly stating a character's traits, personality, or qualities rather than allowing the reader to infer them through actions or dialogue.
