ivan dmitritch, a middle-class man who
lived with his family on an income of twelve
hundred a year and was very well satisfied
with his lot, sat down on the sofa after
supper and began reading the newspaper.

mr. bennett coolly observed: "from all that
i can collect by your manner of talking, you
must be two of the silliest girls in the country.
i have suspected it some time, but i am now
convinced." catherine was disconcerted, and
made no answer; but lydia, with perfect
indifference, continued to express her
admiration of captain carter.

atticus placed his fork beside his knife and
pushed his plate aside. “mr. cunningham

3. Indirect and direct characterization

Explanation:

Indirect and direct characterization are the two ways in which an author can let us know what his characters are like. When an author employs direct characterization, it means that he is letting us know what a character is like by describing him. On the other hand, when an author uses indirect characterization, the author avoids providing descriptions and instead tells us what the actions and thoughts of the characters are like, in order to allow us to reach our own conclusions.
