INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION IN JAMAICA KINCAID'S «MR. POTTER»
Abstract
Jamaica Kincaid is acknowledged as one of the leading women writers from the Caribbean who left the island for the United States, establishing herself as a great representative of literature. In 2002 she wrote «Mr. Potter», giving breath into a character unlike any other in contemporary fiction. In «Mr. Potter», there is indirect characterization that provides insights into the character of Mr. Potter using actions, inner thoughts, dialogues, and interactions to reveal a character's traits, rather than explicitly stating them. Certain aspects of this character are shown through his responses to situations and people around him such as being strict, disciplined and an adherent of traditional values. These examples of indirect characterization help to build a nuanced portrayal of Mr. Potter, allowing readers to form a deeper understanding of his personality, values, and the complexities that shape his character. Overall, in the following paper actions, dialogues, relationships between the characters, main character's reactions are discussed to reveal author's special style in indirect characterization.
