In "Canterbury Tales," Geoffrey Chaucer describes each of
his characters in a very clear and direct way in the General Prologue to the
Tales.

The Prologue is an introduction to the whole work. 
The first section of the prologue sets the scene for the Tales: the narrator was
traveling to Canterbury on a pilgrimage when he joined a group of other pilgrims, each
of whom told a tale.

After that, the narrator directly
describes each of his characters.  There are descriptions of physical appearance, of
styles of dress, of mannerisms of speaking and eating; there are descriptions of the
characters' occupations and the way they carry them out; there are bits of information
about each character's past; and there are opinionated comments by the
narrator.

Let us examine, for example, Chaucer's
description of the Squire.

a) Physical
appearance: "Locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press...In stature
he was of average length."

b) Style of
Dress: "Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and
wide."

c) Mannerisms:
"Wondrously active...Singing he was, or fluting, all the day...Courteous he, and humble,
willing and able."

d) Past:
"He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry / In Flanders, in Artois, and
Picardy."

Most authors allow their characters to reveal
themselves through their actions, and Chaucer is no exception; what is unique is the
amount of time and space he gives for direct description in the
Prologue.
