Manner and method are often confusable in terms of their meanings. Manner means the social behavior. For example, if somebody shouts in the streets, it is a bad manner. Manner can refer to a kind of polite behavior that should be innate. For instance, if we say “That person has no manners”, we mean that a person can not behave politely which they should do by nature. Moreover, manner can refer to a poet’s writing style. Method, on the other hand, is often used to refer to any branch of mental activity. It can also mean a scheme of classification. In the field of theater, method has a special meaning. It relates to the technique of acting based on the actor’s emotional identification with the character.
