How to write the language dialogue in the novel? It's a dialogue, not a plot ~ ~ be specific. Please.

At the beginning of writing, I thought the dialogue in the novel was relatively simple, but this simplicity was not really simple for me, because I didn't go to college before I became an educated youth. Then, it is the most extreme way to let dialogue assume the narrative function in traditional writing. For example, in Crime and Punishment, what you see is mostly dialogue. It's a bit like classical drama. However, in the process of its own growth, novels gradually began to break away from drama. By the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, as a mature variety, it began to be completely independent of drama, and the dialogue in the novel was also different from the traditional way of simply undertaking the narrative function. I remember that I wanted to write my characters and stories in a dialogue framework, and I began to try to write a story about a female educated youth. The story consists almost entirely of dialogue. Of course, when I deal with this story, I try to remove the foreshadowing part of the story.

Usually there must be at least two people in a conversation. This is called a conversation. The narrative may be simple, and it is a person. You can describe a person or a group of people. But dialogue is a group of people intertwined. For example, the big scenes written by classic writers in the past, such as War and Peace, have a large number of characters intertwined. There are several groups of dialogues intertwined in the same scene, some are two people, some are three people, and some are more. So when I first tried the dialogue in the novel, I found it was a very difficult means to master and control. In fact, because I was in a relatively ignorant state at that time, I think this may be the most difficult thing. But later, I also tried to write several plays. When I write a script, I find that my previous knowledge about dialogue will help you immediately.

Typing dialogue

At first, you will imitate a sentence, because you want to imitate Zhang San and Li Si, men, women and children. But you should know that in life, most people's words are difficult to simulate. For example, I remember clearly that Tolstoy once said disrespectful words to Shakespeare. He said that all the characters in Shakespeare's works, whether coachmen or kings, speak in the same tone, that kind of luxurious, elegant, noble and artificial tone. I was a little surprised at that time, because at least in my concept, Tolstoy was the greatest writer in the history of literature, and Shakespeare, who he described as useless, was also a master. I even thought Tolstoy was a colleague. However, after reading a lot of Tolstoy's novels, I will feel that Tolstoy's novels are, after all, the kind of teaching materials that can be used to write any course. It should be said that Tolstoy is a writer who especially makes writers bend over. Tolstoy's criticism of the dialogue between characters in Shakespeare's novels is undoubtedly correct. You are reading Shakespeare's novels yourself. You may not see Shakespeare that way. But if you read this passage from Tolstoy and then read Shakespeare's novels, you will feel that Tolstoy hit the nail on the head.

Now I know many readers of Rainbow's novels, and they especially like the dialogues in Wang Shuo's novels. In the novel, Wang Shuo's characters themselves are very special-it should be said that the language of the characters in Wang Shuo's novels is particularly personalized. But there are also problems. Most of the characters in Wang Shuo's novels are Wang Shuo's own personality types. When you speak, you will feel that it is all ridicule, humor, and clear and wise lines. But in fact, you should know that in daily life, few people will like such a wise person and such an interesting conversation. You often feel that there is such a person who talks funny. This person is a stunner in the crowd. Wang Shuo's characters-almost every one of his characters speaks like this. In a sense, you will also feel suspicious. Although you like his novels and the characters in his novels, I don't know why there is still exclusion.

Pure narration

Pure narration may be more difficult than dialogue. When you write to a certain extent, you will find that simply telling your story from beginning to end will make readers feel bored, and you will be bored with your straightforward narrative and narrative rhythm. Therefore, after a period of personal writing, narrative will become the biggest problem you face personally, and you will find it particularly difficult to write narrative. It is very, very difficult to tell a relaxed, suspenseful, interesting and powerful story. Then, you may be afraid of narration, and after feeling the difficulty of narration, the dialogue may be relatively less difficult and easier in your heart.

The dialogue in the novel may have a different meaning from the tradition for us. If you simply use dialogue to write an article, you may feel that this matter is not particularly remarkable to you. Yes, in a conversation, two or three people formed a certain relationship and changed their relationship in this conversation. But if you think about it further, maybe in a simple and uncomplicated dialogue structure, you will find a lot of room for you to use this dialogue to seek a relationship and structure that you were completely unaware of before writing.

Analyze a case

For example, Hemingway wrote in the novel The Short Happy Life of marcom that Mrs. marcom despised her husband's cowardice and chickened out. Later, she slept with her hunting partner Wilson. After that, Ma Kangbo's dignity-as a man's dignity, as a husband's dignity, as a person's minimum self-esteem-was trampled underfoot. He suddenly became cold-blooded and suddenly came out of the predicament. His heart was filled with longing and he became brave. He wanted to make up for his running away from the enemy, being despised by African servants and accompanying hunters, and being despised by his wife. He became very excited and impulsive. Then they went to hunt bison, which was actually a more dangerous animal, at least in Hemingway's eyes, who was good at hunting. He suddenly became foolhardy when he hunted bison. He must put his life and death at risk and take such unnecessary risks. In this process, Ma Kangbo's wife's mood has changed greatly. She thinks marcom has changed, but she doesn't know where it is. There has always been a special fear surging in her heart. Hemingway wrote about her fears. I don't know how to describe her fear. First of all, her fear is because she mocked her husband in public. Secondly, she is afraid that there may be other deeper reasons, that is, she betrayed him. If her husband shows her the courage of a man again, then she doesn't know how to treat her betrayal because she looks down on her husband. The bigger fear in her heart may be here. Marcom pulled the trigger when he rushed to the bison regardless of his personal safety. The bull's head almost reached his face, and his gun almost completely reached the bull's head. At the moment of pulling the trigger, he suddenly felt a flash of white light and a loud noise made him fall to the ground. It was not his gun that exploded, but another shot, his wife. His wife saw the bison trying to pounce on her husband. At this time, she pulled the trigger of the bison. The bullet hit marcom's face. Ma Kangbo felt the white light and loud noise at the last moment of his life. The loud noise was actually his wife shooting him in the face. The novel doesn't say what his wife's motives are. But Hemingway said she shot the bison. We don't know. I'm talking about readers. Is his wife going to shoot bison or him? Because when we watch western movies, we know that hunting is the best time to kill people, because killing people while hunting can be said to be accidental injury. Accidental injury is played as a thrilling movie plot, which is particularly exciting and effective visually. It is very simple to switch the barrel that is occasionally raised by moving the target, but some hints have been made to the audience about what will happen at this moment. At the end of the novel, Wilson who slept with Mrs. marcom plays with Mrs. marcom. Because the protagonist is dead.

Ambiguous dialogue

At the end of this novel, you can see Hemingway's superb handling techniques, and the dialogue is very strange:

Mrs. Ma Kangbo stood beside the dead Ma Kangbo. Wilson said, "I won't turn him over." That woman is crying. Wilson said, "I'll go back to the car at once. Where is that rifle? " She shook her head. His face has changed. The African servant picked up his rifle. Wilson told him where to put the gun and told him to find another person, that is, a witness, because something happened here, and a man was killed with a gun.

Then, after the incident, Wilson, an escort hunter who took advantage of it, first helped Mrs. marcom out of trouble. He told her to put the gun down first, and then called someone. This means that once the scene is protected, you will be fine.

Wilson stood up, looked at the bison lying on the side and said, "A croaking bison." At this time, he talked about bison. He wants Mrs. Macomber to relax. He said, "A croaking bison." The huge distance between the two corners is 50 inches long, or a little more. Then he called the driver. He told the driver to cover the body with a blanket. Then he walked to the car and she was crying in the corner. Wilson said, "You did a good job. He will leave you sooner or later. "

When Wilson said this, you could see that he was really a bad guy. He was sleeping with his employer's woman and her husband was accidentally killed. But we can't find Mrs Macomber in this conversation. She didn't speak. He found that Mrs. marcom didn't particularly appreciate what he said, "You did a great job. He will leave you sooner or later." . She didn't speak because she was crying. Wilson added, "Of course, it was unintentional, I know." She is still crying. Wilson said, "Don't worry, there will be a series of unpleasant things." He must mean that the police want to see the scene and collect evidence or something. He said, "But we will take some photos. These photos will be very useful during autopsy. "

What he means is: I will help you. I will do it. Don't worry.

The relationship between the characters in the dialogue

At this time, he decided that the woman was frightened, so all his words revolved around "don't worry" or something. But Mrs. Macomber said to him, "Stop it." Wilson said, "There are important things to deal with. I have to send a telegram quickly. A plane will pick us up. Why not poison it? " You see, at this time, he firmly believes that she intends to kill Macomber. The woman cried, "Stop it, stop it, stop it!" "I don't think the translator will make it up by himself. It should be that this woman suddenly raised her voice and shouted "stop" three times in a row. Before that, she said "Stop it" three times, three times when Wilson comforted her. The fourth time, when he said, "Why don't you poison it? "According to the custom of China people," there are only three things. "Hemingway has swept the world, but this Wilson is still chattering. At this moment, the woman suddenly changed the three soft words "stop" in Wilson's ramble into three loud words "stop! Wilson looked at her with his expressionless blue eyes and said, "My work is over. I was a little angry just now, and I have begun to like you. " Wilson finally began to realize that he had said something wrong. He began to flinch. After he withdraws, we will see what Mrs Macomber said. She said, "Stop it, please stop it. Wilson said, "This is better." Now ... in your dreams. "

Ok, let's start from here. In the middle of the whole conversation, in this very complicated relationship, the main party, her conversation is actually only "Stop it". So in other words, this conversation has almost no content. But she couldn't stand Wilson's hint that she was going to kill her husband. She can't face this.

I first read this novel more than twenty years ago, and I read it more than twenty times before and after. I remember discussing with my classmates whether she murdered her husband. Even now, I still have questions. But after more than 20 years, my opinion has changed a little. I used to prefer that she could not face the reformed Ma Kangbo because of cowardice, and I even suspected that she was intentional. But now I throw the question to its author Hemingway, so I don't doubt that he deliberately creates obstacles. He confused the truth. He is really a great man!
