Characterization

Characterization is the process of creating and developing characters in a story, play, or film. It involves describing a character’s traits, personality, motivations, and behaviors, which helps the audience understand who they are and how they relate to the story. Authors use various techniques, such as dialogue, actions, thoughts, and interactions with others, to reveal a character’s qualities. Good characterization makes characters relatable and memorable, allowing readers or viewers to form emotional connections with them throughout the narrative.
