Rather than explicitly describe a characters qualities, an author shows the character as he or she moves through the world, allowing the reader to infer the character qualities from his or her behavior!

Depending on a situation, for example if the plot is in Paris and the main character is in disparity. Their actions or their speech would tell us what’s happening

Implicit characterization is when you need to infer what a character is like. This occurs when an author gives you a characters thoughts, actions, interactions, speech, and context
