  7. Characterization • As readers, how do we learn about characters? • What they say (dialogue) • What they do (actions) • What they think (interior monologue) • What they have and wear • Where they are • The people with whom they associate • What others say about them • Through the author’s direct statement • Definition: Characterization is the process of presenting the different aspects of character and personality of someone in a novel or short story.

  8. Types of Characterization • Indirect • shows things that reveal the personality of a character. • What clues do we, as readers, have to look for? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf7MT1p1VNI • In this scene from clueless, what do we learn about Cher from her speech, actions, thoughts, clothing, response from others? • Direct • tells the audience what the personality of the character is. • Example: “The polite boy and friendly girl were both well behaved and did not disobey their parents.” • Explanation: The author is directly telling the audience the personality of these two children.

  9. Types of Characters • Antagonist: • Represents obstacles that the protagonist must face. Stands directly opposed to the protagonist. • Protagonist : • The central figure. The person/thing that drives the novel. Not necessarily heroic.

  10. Types of Characters • Flat: Embody or represent a single characteristic, trait, or idea. They are not developed. • Why would an author not develop a character? • Round: Complex, multi-dimensional, and developed, embodying a number of qualities and traits. • Usually the main character of a novel. • Think of examples. • Static: The character does not change. Supporting Characters. Sidekicks. • Why not have a main character change • Dynamic: The character changes. • Physical change must also reflect change in self (insight, understanding, or value)
