4 ways of characterization---copy in your literary elements section

There are four ways in which we learn about a character (characterization):

1. narrator's direct comments (He was a mean man)
2. physical description (tall, long legs, dark hair)
3. speech thoughts and actions ("You are stupid and ugly"-- he hurts people; he punches someone-he hurts people)
4. speech, thoughts and actions, of other characters (how other characters in the story act towards him/her, what other characters say about him or her)
