I was sickened, if only at the waste of it: all they killedcows, horses, menthey left to rot or burn. I sacked all I could and tried to store it, but my mother would growl and make faces because of the stink.

What best explains the type of characterization used in this passage?

Respuesta :


Indirect characterization because the author uses Grendel's thoughts to show his ideas about humans and their excessive behavior

Answer: Indirect characterization

Indirect characterization occurs when an author provides information about a character through the character's own thoughts, actions or feelings. This is different from direct characterization, in which the author directly explains what the character is like. In this case, the character is sickened at the sight of the corpses and carcasses left to rot, and at the smell produced by this situation.
