"Mr. Bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance, and easy, unaffected manners . . . [Mr. Darcy] was discovered to be proud, to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared to his friend."3) the author reveals to the reader what the character is like by describing how the character looks and dresses, by letting the reader hear what the character says, by revealing the character's private thoughts and feelings, by revealing the character's effect on other people, or by showing the character in action; common in modern literature4) Harry, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (By J.

Lewis Carroll used _____ to create many of the characters in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Midway through the novel, Alice, the protagonist, meets a large caterpillar who behaves very much like a human:
She stretched herself up on tiptoe and peeped over the edge and her eyes immediately met those of a large blue caterpillar, that was sitting on the top, with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long hookah and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.
At last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth and addressed Alice in a languid, sleepy voice.
"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar.

Draco Malfoy is another good example of a ___ character. Although he gets many opportunities to grow and transform for the better, he prefers not to change. He also dimly senses that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are evil, even though he continues to believe that only purebloods are worthy, and “Mudbloods” and “Muggles” are to be disdained.23) Sextus Propertius' Elegies
In one of his elegies, the ancient Roman poet Sextus Propertius wrote the following line:
