What method of characterization focuses on how characters interact with one another

Characterization is a way in which a writer builds his or her character/s. When the writer uses conversations between characters as a way of constructing the character/s, it is referred to as dialogue.

Dialogue is a method of characterization that focuses on how characters interact with one another. Dialogue helps to bring out the character's personality by showing how they interact with others.

Example: If the character makes a lot of jokes and is very pleasant towards others they interact with then that shows the reader that the character has a funny and friendly personality.

Dialogue shows how the other character/s respond to the character. This aids the reader to understand what the others think of the character.

Example: If the other characters laugh at the jokes told and are also pleasant to the character, this then shows the reader that the character is indeed a friendly and funny person.

Dialogue is also used to depict a character's tone. This also helps the writer to show the character"s personality.

Example: If the character says mother i want that toy right now. The reader will then assume the character is a bossy and spoiled person. If the character says mother can you please buy that toy for me then the reader will assume that the character is well-mannered and pleasant.

Dialogue also helps the reader to understand and possibly relate to the character's emotions and motives.

Example: If the reader is in a scary situation and is having a conversation with a friend pleading for their friend's help. This helps to further emphasize the point that the character is indeed afraid.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
