What do characters do in dialogue?

Answer 1

Yes, characters can and are developed through dialogue in stories.

As your books (or series) goes on, a character may mature in his/her speaking pattern.

For instance, if your character at the beginning of your book was a chatty person, then how to develop him/her could be to make him/her more quiet only comment when necessary, etc.

Answer 2

Lots, just like the dialogue of real people reveals a lot about their personality and history. Educated characters will speak in longer sentences and use longer words and fewer curse words than uneducated people. Characters from one part of the world will use different slang expressions than those from a different part. You can also learn what they're thinking about, how they're feeling, and what's important to them.

Answer 3

Dialogue can tell you many things about a character. Educated characters, for example, speak using longer words and sentences, and use less coarse language than uneducated characters. A character from one part of the world will use different slang expressions than one from another part. You can also sense mood by the way people speak. They're not going to joke around during a serious mood, or stop for a long chat if there's a lot of tension.
