Strongest Dialogue

"' Fish,' he said, 'I love you and respect you very much. But I will kill you dead before this day ends.'"

                                                                              ----"The Old Man and the Sea"

There isn't many dialogue in this novella, drama class even used this novella as an example of no dialogue. But I chose this little piece of dialogue from the few choices I have in the novella because it represents the old man's character. He have gone eighty-four days without a catch and yet still remained undefeated. He is a fisherman but he respects his prey and calls the ones he deems worthy "brothers". He have pride, not necessarily a flaw in this novella, which drove him to sail further than any other fisherman and to try take this monster of a fish by himself even in his old age. This piece of dialogue between the old man and the fish incorporates all that represent the old man.
