SUBTEXT: the underlying meaning or emotion in dialogue; the subtext of a work is not explicitly stated.  Some ways to show subtext:

Stress – emphasis placed on a word Inflection – the way a voice goes up or

down when a word is pronounced (?) Pause – break in reading for emphasis Speed – the rate at which dialogue is read Volume – the loudness or softness with

which lines are delivered Nonverbal communication – gestures,

posture, eye contact
