Dialogue is written conversation between two or more characters. Dialogue is used in most forms of prose writing and also in narrative poetry. In case of From Night, the dialogue between the narrator and his father is vividly displayed. Realistic, well-placed dialogue enlivens narrative, descriptive, and expository prose and provides the reader with insights into characters�� personalities and relationships with one another. The dialogue can also reflect the time and place in which the action takes place, giving a richness and believability to the literary work.
