I looked this question up and found out it is about "The Canterbury Tales".
One example of direct characterization in lines 81-90 is:
"In stature he was of a moderate length."
- "The Canterbury Tales" is a collection of 24 stories by British writer Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400). The lines we are analyzing here belong to the General Prologue of the collection.
- Direct characterization happens when the narrator of a story tells us the characteristics of a character. That is, instead of showing us a character's traits through his actions or thoughts, the narrator simply states, "this character has this or that trait."
- Lines 81-90 from the Prologue are filled with examples of direct characterization. One of them is "In stature he was of a moderate length." This is the narrator directly telling us the height of a young Squire.
