In "The Notebook," the characterization is primarily indirect. This means that the author, Nicholas Sparks, reveals the characters' traits, motivations, and personalities through their actions, dialogue, thoughts, and interactions with others, rather than explicitly stating them. By using indirect characterization, Sparks allows readers to infer and interpret the characters' traits, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
Indirect Characterization
• Being indirect in order to find out the truth
Hamlet stabbed him with the poisoned sword which Laertes had poisoned to kill Hamlet. He was, in Hamlet's phrase, "hoist with his own petard."
Hamlet's uncle Claudius killed Hamlet's father (called Hamlet Sr.). The ghost of Hamlet Sr. comes back from the dead and tells Hamlet Jr. so. Hamlet Jr. confirms this by re-enacting the murder as a play, which upsets Uncle Claudius.

Direct characterization is when the author explicitly describes the character's traits and qualities, while indirect characterization reveals the character through their actions, thoughts, and dialogue. Direct characterization tells the reader what the character is like, while indirect characterization allows the reader to infer the character's traits based on their behavior and interactions with others.
Indirect means not direct. We got there by indirect means. The author used indirect characterization.

Characterization
There is direct characterization and indirect characterization. Direct characterization is when the author tells the reader something about the character. Indirect characterization is when the author uses words to show the reader something about the character. The author can show you what the character says, do and thinks and through water other characters say about, think about, or how they act towards that character.
