Definition of characterization
Characterization: There are several different ways of presenting a character in fiction or drama:Explicit presentation: Here the omniscient author describes the outward appearance and the psychological nature of a character. If a character's thoughts and/or his feelings are described we speak of introspection.Implicit presentation: A character is presented in terms of his or her environment. If a person lives in strange surroundings he is assumed to be strange himself. Since the author does not tell us explicitly, the reader is expected to draw his own conclusions. Dramatic presentation: A character is presented through action, interaction or dialogue. Here, too, the author seems to have withdrawn from the scene and the reader (or audience) must form their own impressions.
