How to write dialogue between characters in novels?

When writing people, you usually write the dialogue of the characters; The dialogue between characters occupies a very important position in the description of characters.

However, this is a weak link in the current composition of primary school students. Everyone is only satisfied with the four forms of written expression of dialogue between characters:

1. The prompt is in front.

-He said, "What a nice day today!"

2. The prompt is at the back.

-"Have you finished your homework?" Li gang asked.

3. The prompt is inserted in the middle of a paragraph.

-"Xiao Ming, you should think it over!" Teacher Wang said seriously, "Should you do this?"

4. On the premise of clearly knowing who the interlocutor is, omit the prompt and write the dialogue continuously.

-I heard the whispers between Xiao Gang and Xiao Ming clearly.

"where were you yesterday?"

"I play in the zoo. Don't tell anyone! "

We should master these four written expressions, but we can't satisfy them. Because the dialogue of the characters is a direct expression of the inner world of the characters, it is closely related to the ideological behavior and personality characteristics of the task; You can write the characters' thoughts, personalities, voices and smiles through dialogue. And this point is often ignored by everyone.

Secondly, because people only pay attention to the expression form of the dialogue, but don't pay attention to the content of the dialogue, so the dialogue between characters is either too simple and few words; Or write long and tedious, nagging. Most of the students can't write dialogues, or they don't realize that they should write dialogues well, which is also one of the reasons why the articles are not specific.

how to write a dialogue between characters?

1. Dialogue should reflect the personality and age characteristics of the characters, conform to their professional status and reveal their ideological outlook.

2. The most common mistake in writing dialogues is that a thousand people speak the same language, regardless of the speaker's age, occupation and personality, and they all say the same thing. For example, when people express their gratitude for picking up something and giving it to the owner and sending the lost child home, the answer is always: "This is what I should do!" " The sameness, lack of characteristics, is really boring.

When writing a dialogue, we must firmly grasp the age characteristics, personality characteristics, professional characteristics and ideological outlook of the characters. As long as we are a conscientious person in real life and carefully observe it, we will find that different ages, different occupations, different personalities and different ideological outlook treat the same thing and the same question with different characteristics. The shop assistant in A Snowy Night, her age, is an aunt; Her personality is gentle and amiable; Her occupation, a shop assistant in a pharmacy; She is thoughtful, responsible, enthusiastic and considerate in service. Look, because we have firmly grasped these points, every word of her when writing a dialogue is in line with her age, personality, occupation and ideological outlook, and there is no "stereotype" of one thousand people speaking with one voice.

This is very important for writing a dialogue between characters.

2. When writing a dialogue, it is sometimes necessary to emphasize the tone and enhance the expressive force of the dialogue with the help of the description of the actions and demeanor of the characters when they speak.

When some students write dialogues, they only write "I said", "He said", "Xiao Wang said" and "Xiao Li said", but they don't make any description of the actions and manners when they speak. In this way, it is more difficult to write the dialogue well.

In real life, every time people say a word, it is more or less obvious or hidden, it is always accompanied by some actions and expressions, which are often consistent with the content of the speech. Therefore, when writing a dialogue, a proper description of this will not only enhance the expressive force of the dialogue, but also portray the characters more vividly.

here, it is important to point out that this kind of action and expression must be naturally revealed and should be consistent with the content and mood of the speech; The description is just right and natural, and you can't put on airs, exaggerate or be feminine. Otherwise, the effect will be counterproductive.

3. When writing a dialogue, don't write "big talk, empty talk and cliche". In short, the dialogue between characters should be written naturally, truly, appropriately and accurately.
