Character and characterisation are two closely related concepts in literature, but they are not the same. Character refers to the person or personality that inhabits a literary work. It is the being that acts, thinks, and feels within the narrative. A character has distinct traits, motivations, desires, and psychological depth that make them believable and relatable to the reader. Characters are the entities through which the author conveys themes, conflicts, and social or moral ideas. They can be protagonists, antagonists, or supporting figures, but each has a role in advancing the story and providing insight into human nature. Essentially, a character is the “what” or the “who” in the story. Characterisation, on the other hand, is the process by which an author reveals and develops these characters. It is the “how” of character creation. Characterisation can be direct or indirect. Direct characterisation occurs when the author explicitly describes a character’s traits, often through narrative commentary or exposition. For example, the author might state that a character is generous, ambitious, or timid. Indirect characterisation is subtler and relies on a character’s speech, actions, thoughts, appearance, and interactions with other characters to reveal personality traits. Through these methods, the reader infers the nature of the character and forms a more nuanced understanding. Characterisation, therefore, is the technique, strategy, or craft through which characters are presented and developed ________ ________ ________ _______ __________ __________ _______ __________ ______.
