In other words, characterization is the representation of persons in narrative and dramatic works. The term character development is sometmes used as a synonym. This representation may include direct methods like the attribution of qualities in description or commentary and indirect [dramatic] method invitie readers to infer qualities from characters’ action, dialogue, or acceptance. Such a personage is called a character. The range of Jane Austen’s characters is narrow but humour touches all her best characters.
