| Summary: | Medieval romances are characterized by a very important structural function of the dialogues. They can be classified into two categories according to their function in the action and regardless of the reported speech they use. The first category is the catalyst dialogues, which modify a situation either by engaging the characters in the action through an order or a decision, or by freeing them from the action, when it is considered as having ended. These dialogues create a new combination by merging components of the action. The second category is composed of analytic dialogues, which clarify the action. They can be removed from the story with respect to the action but not meaning. They either illustrate the scene by adding emblematic language, or they comment on it. Some particularly long dialogues act as a scene in themselves and are made up with the same phases of involvement and disengagement. This third category intersects the two others. This typology is not linked to the size or the literary merit of the dialogues. |
