Answer:

Characterization can be defined as the way a writer presents and develops a character which can be direct characterization or indirect characterization. In "The gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, The statement 'He looked thin and very serious' is an example of direct characterization.

Explanation:

The irony of "The gift of the magi".

There is situational irony present in the gift of the magi" Situational irony means that there is a gap between expectation and what happens. This irony is shown in when Della and Jim bought each other gift which turned out to be useless. Jim sold his gold watch to buy Della a set of fancy combs and Della sold some of her locks to buy Jim a watch, This is a clear example of situational irony.

The theme of Love is shown in "The gift of Maggi" Della and Jim have deep love for each other as they were willing to sacrifice their possession for each other.
