In Zadie Smith’s novel White Teeth (2000), the author creates a colourful character in Hortense Bowden, a devout Jamaican woman living in London. This has a subtler effect, allowing us to interpret and connect characters’ words and deeds ourselves. Instead of saying ‘Lloyd was dangerously jealous and aggressive’, Munro shows this in his words. “I’ve got experience of her kind of woman.” He wanted to know what they talked about, she and Maggie. Munro shows Lloyd’s controlling, jealous and threatening behaviour through dialogue: Munro uses indirect character building subtly throughout the story, as Doree recalls the buildup to the murder. We later learn that Doree had been married with children, but her husband killed them, believing Doree had left for good when she vacated their home in the middle of a heated argument. This indirect characterization shows Doree is guarded. She didn’t want to have to talk to people.’ (p.1) ‘They told her she should get trained for a job behind the desk while she was still young and decent-looking. Doree, the protagonist, works as a chambermaid at a hotel. In the opening pages, Munro characterizes Doree through the eyes of her co-workers: In Alice Munro’s short story ‘Dimensions’, collected in Too Much Happiness (2009), the author uses subtle indirect characterization.

The author does not say ‘Tom was a very angry individual’, but shows Tom’s anger in full swing. We understand the character through actions, responses and lines of dialogue. The second type is called indirect characterization because it is implicit (it shows rather than tells). 2: Use subtler indirect character portrayal The description is direct and explicit, leaving little to infer. Marquez explicitly tells us both about Fermina’s appearance and her character (her ‘inborn haughtiness’ and ‘dilligence’). Her clear almond eyes and her inborn haughtiness were all that were left to her from her wedding portrait, but what she had been deprived of by age she more than made up for in character and dilligence.’ (pp. ‘Her stylish attire did not seem appropriate for a venerable grandmother, but it suited her figure – long-boned and still slender and erect, her resilient hands without a single age spot, her steel-blue hair bobbed on a slant at her cheek. Here is a rich example from Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera (1985), a description of the ageing Fermina Daza: This type of narration tells us precise information such as how a character looks or how they see the world. When an author describes a character explicitly to the reader, via a narrator or through another character’s eyes, this is called direct characterization. This is a reference for Textual's color design system.There are two broad types of characterization in fiction.

You can run it with the following command: textual borders This is the borders reference which demonstrates some of the borders styles in Textual. You can run it with the following command: textual easing This is the easing reference which demonstrates the easing parameter on animation, with both movement and opacity. The textual command has a few sub-commands to preview Textual styles. This is the Stopwatch example from the tutorial. This is calculator.py which demonstrates Textual grid layouts. This is the code_browser.py example which clocks in at 61 lines ( including docstrings and blank lines).
