Direct characterization is when the author tells the reader what the character is like directly. For example: Tim is shy. For indirect characterization, it's the time when the author writes about a character and we find out what the character is like along the story while reading it.
Characterization is how the author describes and grants the characters human qualities. Direct variation is when the author stated directly how he or she wanted the readers to know about his or her character. Ex. Jimmy is a lazy boy who lays around all day. In this case, the author made it clear that he wanted the readers to know that the character Jimmy is a lazy person. Characterization can also take on an indirect form. In this case, the author does shows instead of tell plainly how he or she wants her character to be perceived. Here's an example: Jimmy laid on the couch for what was the tenth month after telling his mom he was doing so to compete for a world record and a sense of accomplishment. All day he refused to lift even a finger, not even to feed himself.
A direct characterization is how the author describes a character with words that informs the readers directly of what he/she is like. An indirect characterization is how the author informs the characteristic of the character to the readers through the character's actions, thought, or behavior.
An example of a direct characterization can be, "Tim likes eating cupcakes in the morning". Where the author directly says something about the character. An example of an indirect characterization would be, "Tim eats cupcakes in the morning very often". By saying that, the author doesn't directly tells the reader about the character, the reader would have to figure it out themselves.
Direct Characterization: For example, Allen is annoying. The author directly tells the reader what the character is like.
Indirect Characterization: For example, You can hear Allen talking loudly and see him poking someone at any time in school. The author doesn't directly tell the reader what the character is like, but the author "shows" the reader what the character is like by informing the inner behavior or action of the character.
