If a writer wanted to develop a protagonist’s personality without using dialogue or direct narration, which would be most effective?

1. creating tension between the minor characters
2. describing the main setting of the key events
3. focusing on the actions of the antagonist
4. including descriptive details about clothing or habits

Explanation:

So the definition for Protagonist is : the main character in a

work of literature, who is involved in the central conflict of

the story. Usually, the protagonist changes after the central

conflict reaches a climax. He or she may be a hero and is

usually the one with whom the audience tends to identify.

if you think about it this way following the definition its Including descriptive details about clothing or habits,

Hope this helped. if i am wrong let me know!!

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
