Question

The method of characterization does the author show in "Shooting an Elephant" based on the excerpt below:

"Theoretically — and secretly, of course — I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British."

direct characterization

indirect characterization

character activation

character enhancement

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Indirect characterization

Indirect Characterization is the process by which the personality of a character is revealed through the character's speech, actions, appearance, etc.
Although from this quote you don't get many details about the person speaking, you can tell what are their thoughts regarding the Burmese (which are positive thoughts) and the British (which are negative thoughts).
