Character
• Two ways authors reveal a character:– Direct Characterization– Indirect CharacterizationNO
NOTES
Direct Characterization
• The author DIRECTLY tells us the traits of that character.
NO NOTES
Characterization
• Example:– Bob was a serious person who loved to study.
Whenever his friends were playing outside, Bob was in his house, reading books.
– What does the author tell us DIRECTLY about Bob?
NO NOTES
Indirect Characterization
• The author hints at what the character is like—through their clothing, what they carry with them.
• Anything and everything can be indirect—even something as small as their eyes.
• Allows the reader room for interpretation about a character.
NO NOTES
Stock Characters
• Stock characters are characters that fit our NATURAL ideas about what a character should look/act/be like.
• Remember, THE WIZARD—without me saying anything, 99% of us drew the hat/staff/crystal ball.
