Noble is deliberately ignoring parts of the dialogue examples when he explains and analyzes them, and he leans a little sexist in how he recounts the dialogue, too. It seems disingenuous to pass that off as genuine analysis when he doesn't dive into the whole of it. If anything this book is useful because you can faithfully argue where Noble is wrong, really dive into the dialogue passages with your own analysis.

Sometimes obvious (& long-winded) tips, but I'm enjoying the analysis. I'm mostly gonna take notes for updates?

note to self: Noble provides example exercises following each technique, for tension: "Try these: -anger in the midst of peaceful tolerance; -giddiness in the midst of unsmiling gravity; -unscrupulousness in the midst of trusting acceptance"

also pointing out "unsaid thought" as a powerful tool
