Indirect characterization is a literary technique crucial for bringing characters to life without stating their traits outright. It's like solving a mystery where you're piecing together clues from actions and reactions! For example, if a character rushes to help a stranger in need, you infer they’re compassionate. A fun fact: many beloved literary characters, like Jay Gatsby from "The Great Gatsby," rely on indirect characterization to showcase their complexities. Through the eyes of other characters and their own actions, we slowly unravel the layers of personality, making them resonate even more with readers.
