Oh, dude, direct characterization is when the author flat out tells you about a character, right? So, like in "The Cask of Amontillado," when Montresor describes himself as someone who has been wronged, that's direct characterization.

Answer 5

In "The Cask of Amontillado," one method of characterization used in Poe's short story is the use of clothing. There is a celebration going on in the city, and all are dressed in costume. Monstresor wears a black silk mask, and has a sweeping cloak, giving the impression of an executioner, or one who is prepared to sit in judgment. It also indicates someone whose motives and penchant for evil can be hidden.
