What is Dialogue?

In This post I will discuss about What is Dialogue.
Dialogue is preponderant in a play. When we watch a play, we pay attention to the words spoken by the performers. To appreciate a play one needs to be a good listener. Dialogue acts as a give and take
medium. Dramatists use dialogues to tell us indirectly the events through his narrator but a novelist tells us directly. Listening to the actor, we not only learn the facts but also what goes in his mind. The important facts and background that are told at the beginning of the play is called "exposition" and the "exposition" introduces us to the situation, history of a person, a family or a community. Gradually, another major problem comes into fo :us and the main action of the
play takes place. At times, minor cha acters in a drama focus on the important traits of the major characters. Sometime a messenger may bring news of things that happened somewhere else and his news may change the course of events.
