'I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.' - F Scott
No human speaks like that.
They can only write like that after thought, which is why it works in Gatsby, as it is Nick's thoughts, which you don't judge as unrealistic as they exist in his mind, which you give more credit to as being able to construct something beautiful. We wouldn't give it a break if it was something he said because, well, no human speaks like that.
So my question is how, within fiction, whether it be a play or a film or a novel, how you are able to give dialogue some beauty and take it out of the dimension of normal, everyday dialogue, but without introducing a suspension of belief?
What is the limit of adding romanticism and beauty to dialogue before it becomes unrealistic ?
