Ivan Dmitritch - Direct Characterization

Direct Characterization is when the author specifically tells you the character's traits. There is no need for inferring. In this excerpt, the reader is specifically told Dmitritch's social status and who he lives with.

Atticus - Indirect Characterization

In this the author uses Atticus's statement about Mr. Cunningham to reveal Atticus as a caring and understanding person who doesn't judge people based on their income level. It also reveals Mr. Cunningham's character because it shows how Atticus views him. Indirect characterization is shown through a character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looks.

Mr. Bennett - Direct and Indirect Characterization

In this excerpt many of the character's traits are revealed. Catherine and Lydia are directly characterized as disconcerted or indifferent. Mr. Bennett is indirectly characterized as observant.
