- The words spoken in the text. Is it quick or lively to create excitement? Does it slow down the reading to make you pay attention to important information?
- conversation between two or more persons.
- the conversation between characters in a novel, drama, etc.
- an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, especially a political or religious issue, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement or settlement.
Dialogue is particularly important because it really says a lot about the message an author wants to convey and authors choose to write how their characters speak for a reason. We can see the different kinds of dialogues in The Stranger and Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Ex: "She was very close to your mother. She says you r mother was her only friend and how she hasn't got anyone" (The Stranger)
Ex: "Ah see you is. Gal, you sho looks good. You looks like youse yo' own daughter."(Their Eyes Were Watching God)
Clearly their are differences between the words spoken in those two lines, but it's a good thing because it helps the reader learn more about the story; and get to know these characters that are created by the author.
