Direct characterization refers to the revelation of character by the author. In direct characterization, the character's trait is described by the author in a straightforward manner and highlights the character's motivation. Further to the audience, it reveals the character's personality.

Through the use of phrases, descriptive adjectives and epithets, the personality of the fictitious character is revealed in direct characterization.  

Hence, the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde which uses direct characterization is "This familiar that I called out of my own soul, and sent forth alone to do his good pleasure, was a being inherently malign and villainous . . ."
