Characterization

   Characterization   

__ Characterization __ is the creation of the image of a character. Characterization generates plot and is revealed by actions, speech, thoughts, physical appearance, and the other characters’ thoughts or words about him Ex. 1. **__Homer Simpson__** -His physical appearance -His eating habits -His speech -His thoughts These are all ways that the Simpson's writers use characterization to develop Homer's unique personality and show the viewers who Homer is.

Heat and Dust examples :)

Example 1.) Characterization of Douglas "Only Douglas was different. She stole a look at him: yes, he was right. As always, he was sitting up very straight; his nose was straight, so was his high forehead; his evening jacket fitted him impeccably. He was noble and fair. " (page 16)

Example 2.) Characterization of Ritu "There is something frail, weak about her. Physically she is very thin, with thin arms on which her bangles slip about; but not only physically - I have the impression that her mind, or do I mean her will, is not strong either, that she is the sort of person who would give way quickly." (page 51)
