That it is through her own expressions and the observations of others that the audience gets to know her is why Antigone's characterization is indirect in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the term direct characterization describes a character's presentation through the direct observations of the author. In contrast, indirect characterization describes a character's presentation through that character's own deeds, thoughts and words as well as the observations of other characters. The latter description fits Antigone's presentation, which is through her own expressions and the observations of the characters and the members of the chorus.

Explain the difference between direct characterization and indirect characterization?

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.
