Character and characterisation ...

Character = the qualities and characteristics which a character portrays. 


Characterisation = the way in which the character has been portrayed and how the audience has been able to think this. Dialogue can portray characteristics and the way in which they talk about the character. Names and actions can also characterise a character as we can pre judge what they will be like. For example, Bullet Tooth Tony does not sound like a pleasant, nice character.
