CHARACTERIZATIONThe way an author establishes a

character

METHODS OF CHARACTERIZATION:

Method 1: Author tells the reader directly!

“”As he crosses the stage, his exhaustion is apparent.”

Method 2: Actions and words of the character

“I won’t have you mending stockings in this house!”

Method 3: Actions and words of others toward the character

“I’ve wanted to talk to you about Dad for a long time, Biff. Something’s—happening to him.

He---talks to himself.”
