Question

which of these are examples of direct characterization? check all that apply. \mr. hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile...\ \it chanced on one of these rambles that their way led them down a by - street in a busy quarter of london.\ \and you never asked about the—place with the door? said mr. utterson.\ \this was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red - faced gentleman, with a shock of hair prematurely white...\ \then he began slowly to mount the street, pausing every step or two and putting his hand to his brow...\

Explanation:

Direct characterization explicitly states a character's traits, rather than showing them through actions or dialogue.

1. The first quote directly describes Mr. Hyde's physical traits (pale, dwarfish, deformity impression, displeasing smile).
2. The second quote sets a scene, not describing a character's traits.
3. The third quote is dialogue, not direct trait description.
4. The fourth quote directly lists a gentleman's traits (hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced, prematurely white hair).
5. The fifth quote shows a character's actions, not direct trait statements.

• "Mr. Hyde was pale and dwarfish, he gave an impression of deformity without any nameable malformation, he had a displeasing smile . . ."
