How does the insertion of dialogue in the story contribute to its interest?
Advertisements
उत्तर
It is rather incorrect to say that there is any insertion of dialogue in the story. The story is in the dialogue form in itself. However,, in the beginning, it is a little descriptive and the author alone goes on narrating the significance of the moustachios and the pride of different classes associated with their particular style of mustaches. However, it serves as an introduction to the actual story giving a picture to the reader of what values will because of various turns in events in the story.
