1. Dialogue
Explanation: Dialogue is the spoken interaction between characters in a
drama. It reveals character traits, advances the plot, and builds conflict.
Evidence from the drama:
LEIF: “Father, I’m going out into the world, where I can do things
just as I like.”
FATHER: “Your stubbornness is bound to land you in trouble. But at
least take this piece of advice. Whatever you do, don’t go to work for
the troll.”
This conversation shows Leif’s rebellious nature and sets up the
conflict. Most of the story is told through such spoken exchanges
between characters.
