An example of a direct character is Lennie because he is described directly at the beginning of the story as a tall lumbering giant with big features. He is also described as animal-like. In the book Steinbeck says, “He walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.”(page 3) Lastly he describes Lennie as having a strong, large build by saying, “A huge man, shapeless of face.”(Page 2)
An example of an indirect character is Aunt Clara because John Steinbeck never properly introduces her. All we know about Aunt Clara is that she’s Lennie’s aunt and used to take care of him before she died. Also, she used to give Lennie mice to pet, and lastly she asked George to take care of Lennie because she trusted him. In the story
