4 ways of characterization/Macbeth Hw #2 (20 pts.)

There are 4 basic ways an author creates a character:

Narrator's direct comments--the narrator just tells you something about him/her
Physical traits-what a character looks like
Speech, thoughts, actions of a character--what a character says and does
Speech, thoughts, and actions of other characters towards that character--what other people say about them/act towards them

There will be no narrator's comments as this is a play and there is no narrator.
FOR HOMEWORK, I want you to take your notes from Act I, Scene ii, and today's reading, and write a short paragraph describing Macbeth at the beginning of the play. Try and use each of the other 3 types of characterization if possible. We will do an example of how to incorporate the information into a sentence in class. Be sure to use adjectives in your answer.
