    The correct answer is C, because it has been perceived that the discourse given by the character indirectly reflects the features of his personality without being explicitly argued. When his instructor says that Peter Pan is very famous these days, he refers to a person who depends a lot on his mother and who does not assume his responsibilities, so the reader could conclude that the character is a dependent, insecure, irresponsible person, etc. In this way, it is the reader who draws his own conclusions about the personality, how it works and how the character reacts.
