Which would the reader get to know a character? a rapid pace in the narrative , description of an annoying habit , description of the specific setting or use of foreshadowing.

The correct answer is definitely the description of an annoying habit.

Indeed, a character’s persona is definitely defined by his inner psyche and one of the most reliable and insightful ways to begin describing a character is through his habits (good or bad). Habits are routine, repetitive behaviors that are subconscious and which are inextricably originated by a person’s mental or psychological state. They reveal aspects about the innermost aspect of a person’s nature ans psychological status.

There are several examples of bad habits in literature that are indicative of a character’s psyche. One example would be a female character that changes clothes several times before trivial occasions which clearly indicates some kind of pathology based on a psychological complex.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
