One way in which playwrights develop characters is through dialogue. define dialogue. then choose alice or humpty dumpty from alice in wonderland. analyze how the character is developed through dialogue. describe the character and explain at least two pieces of dialogue that support your description.

Alice: [Amazed] It's a rabbit hole, I'm small enough to fit in it. But if I shrink any more I might end up like a blown out candle. I wonder what I would be like then! What does a candle look like after the flame has been blown out? I've never seen such a thing! Humpty Dumpty: [Sits on the wall.] I can't stand you chattering to yourself like that, but tell me your name and your business. Alice: My name is Alice, but- Humpty Dumpty: That's a stupid name, but what does it mean?

Character Description

Alice has a, somewhat curious nature. Poking her nose into anything that interests her. I think it shows when she says "I wonder what I would be like then! What does a candle look like after the flame has been blown out?".

Humpty Dumpty disregards Alice's feelings and judges her in a somewhat crude way. I think this shows when he interrupts Alice and says "That's a stupid name, but what does it mean?".
