Characterization
Definition:
Characterization in literature refers to a step-by-step process wherein a character of a story is brought to notice and then detailed upon in front of the reader. Characterization is a sort of initiation wherein the reader is introduced to the character. The initial step is to introduce the character with a marked emergence. After the arrival his behavior is discussed. This is followed by an insight into his thought-process. Then comes the part where the character voices his opinions or converses with others in the story. The last and finalizing part is when others in the plot respond to the character’s presence.
Example:
Michael Corleone was not jus' a mafiaso, but a family man. A man who walked the knife's edge to preserve his sanity.

THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL IN MY MATH/ L.A CLASS TEST
HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO DO FOR HOMEWORK UNTIL I READ THIS
This website is just AWESOME!!!
Very helpful!!!!
so if i had to write a paragraph of characterisation for a character of a short story how would i do that
i guess you would start by introducing the character and then describing and explaining the character further through the rest of the paragraph
it was useful but what then is character

What is direct and indirect characterization
if i remember right direct is where the narrator flat out says this character is i no good dirt bag
but.....
indirect is where you infer from the characters actions the he or she is a no good dirt bag
hope that helps....
