Question

how can dialogue contribute to the development of characters in a text? characters in a story never engage in dialogue with each other, leading to no insight into their personalities or motivations. dialogue can reveal characters personalities, motivations, relationships, and conflicts, providing insight into their thoughts and emotions. dialogue in a text is irrelevant and has no impact on character development. characters thoughts and emotions can only be conveyed through actions, not through dialogue.
