Tip- Metaphors in conversation are a great way for characters to progress the plot. At
one time similarities can be found among differences. Through metaphors
character development can be advanced by giving just enough information so the
audience can figure things out for themselves.
• Compressed conflict analogy (like an oxymoron)- “you are too close, and too
far away!”
Exercise- Craft a scene of dialogue using metaphors where two characters relate their
different perspectives as to how things are.

Tip- Natural conversation is not flawless. Interruptions, stammering, and other verbal
miscues are a part of our day to day communications. Perfect interactions can
feel staged.
