What It Does
The Dialogue Subtext Analyzer hunts for on-the-nose dialogue: characters announcing exactly what they feel ("I'm angry because you forgot my birthday"), exposition crammed into speech, and scenes where nobody has an agenda so the conversation just... happens.
Each finding names the technique to fix it - deflection, weaponized small talk, contradiction between words and action - and shows a rewritten line carrying the same meaning underneath. It also highlights exchanges where your subtext already sings, so you know what to protect. (For tags and beats, see the Dialogue Attribution Optimizer - this tool is about content.)
How to Use It
Pick Dialogue-Heavy Chapters
Confrontations, confessions, and negotiations benefit most - choose up to 6 chapters.
Study the Rewrites
Don't paste them in verbatim - learn the move each rewrite demonstrates, then do it in your own voice.
Fix the Agenda-less Scenes
The scene-agenda notes flag conversations where nobody wants anything - give each speaker a goal and the subtext appears on its own.
