Chapt. 3: Gatsby’s Party:
Direct and Indirect Characterization:
 Direct: When we learn something about a character because of
what the author or another character directly explains about
him/her:
 E.g. “Sally was so excited for her date that night. She felt nervous
because he was so attractive, but it was hard for her to contain her
excitement.”
 Indirect: When we learn something about a character because
of their actions. We must infer what a character is like.
 E.g. “Sally spent three hours getting ready for her date, two more
hours than normal. When she was finished getting ready, she paced
back and forth around the living room, not able to sit still.”
