Q3: Dialogue

How does Dumas use dialogue to push the plotline forward?  Is it effective?

  1. Dumas uses dialogue to add background to the story. He also gives insight into what the characters might do next. It is effective because the author does not have to give a large amount of background

  2. Dumas uses dialogue to show a character's idea or personality based on the plots they make. Characters reveal parts of their life which is vital for the story

  3. Dumas using diologue well when he is pretending to be someone else. He usues diologue to figure out who truly was his frined and what became of his enemies.

  4. Dumas has many aliases, so he has to use dialogue when he is using the different aliases. He does this to learn the information on his foes and in the end reach the main goal of the story: Revenge.

  5. The above comments are true but there is another way that dialogue is used. Take for example Dantes' first meal in Paris. A few pages of straight dialogue are used to pass the time of about four hours. Also, dialogue is used as a primary discourse of plot.

  6. These many aliases help explain his motives through the dialogue. It is how he contacts with everyone and exacts revenge. The dialogue engages the reader and keeps the reader interested in whats going on and what the Count is doing.
