Answer: illustrate the feelings of the characters.

In this passage, the dialogue serves to illustrate the feelings of the characters. We can see that Acrisius is angry, as he asks who the father of the child is. We can also see that Danae is proud to state that Zeus is the father. Both pride and anger are feelings, which are illustrated by the dialogue in the passage. Other ways to express the feelings that the characters of a story are having is through their actions or by using an omniscient narrator.
