What is direct characterization?

Direct characterization happens when the author, through the narrator or another character, uses words that directly describe another character. For example: Jane was tall and thin, and quite an irritable woman.

As we can see, in excerpts A, B, and D, the author uses direct characterization. We know what Mr. Utterson is like because of the adjectives "rugged," "austere," and "undemonstrative."
