Detailed explanation-1: -Indirect characterization is a type of literary device that reveals details about a character without stating them explicitly.

Detailed explanation-2: -This type of characterization is also known as implicit characterization. While it takes more time to develop a character through indirect characterization, it often leaves a deeper impression on the reader than direct statements about what a character is like.
