An example of indirect characterization is

He is considered a genius by those who know him well.

Explanation:

Direct and indirect characterization have a difference of reliability in terms of the voice of the author in that the direct characteristics of a person are often variable without any personal subjectivity of a person usually by the other person's action.

Indirect characterization relies on what people say or recount about someone to know about their qualities and has a layer of subjectivity innate in it.

This is a telltale example of that because the person being talked about is touted to be a genius by those 'who know him well'.

This gives an air of subjectivity in the sentence.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
