Stichomythia

Stichomythia is a technique used in drama where two speakers engage in a rapid or intense exchange of alternating dialog. Here is an example found in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

- + Five sections of dialog use stichomythia. The second section of dialog continues where the first section has left off. This pattern continues and creates a staircase effect.

This highlights moments of conflict, urgency, or intense emotion and conveys dynamic interactions between characters. Unfortunately, there is no great way to format this technique with clear, predictable structuring. The text displayed has no additional indents or margins.

Attached to personas

Some stage directions are attached to the persona. These directions are placed in <td> elements with the dialog, but in a separate paragraph.

- + The stage direction “entering” is attached to the persona “Festus”.
