Respuesta :
A technique used by authors to convey a feeling of character through speech, attire, or actions is indirect characterization. The narrator's statements about the individual are known as direct characterisation; in Chaucer's case, everyone appears to be represented favourably—as "worthy"—because of the narrator's naivete.
When Chaucer employs direct characterization in his poems, he makes it apparent to the reader what traits a character has, yet when he employs indirect characterization, he gives us, the reader, the opportunity to establish our own opinions about the character. For instance, The Wife of Bath's Tale depicts the wife as an elderly woman with wisdom, through indirect characterisation.
Finding the irony between what is written about these pilgrims and what indirect characterization says is truer is one of the delights of the language Chaucer presents in the General Prologue. The enjoyments that the Franklin and the Wife partake in are used to describe both of them.
