How does one allude to emotion in Literature without explicitly,

Dialogue

I don't think there's any 'wrong' way to convey emotion apart from "He was angry" or something like that, as long as you vary the way you do it, it shouldn't get boring. Things in books usually annoy you because they're repeated too much

But with Joyce you get this sense of emotion when reading the work, a sense of disappointment or shame.

I can't tell if this is just a projection or if it's actually there.

I'll work on my dialogue, thanks.

Thoughts, feelings, and physiological events always happen simultaneously.

A good writer knows this, and will refer to one to get the reader to sense the other. The one to mention explicitly is the one that, in that moment of the story, appears to matter the least.

Thoughts. Symbols. Dialogue. Allusions.

When I want to convey emotion (and I usually write poetry) I don't use dialogue or allusions or something that needs to convey.
I use the nature around emotion.
There is a great writer from my land, Petar Kocic, who wrote like this. Say, A was angry. He wouldn't write A is angry/seething/... or use a talk "Would you...?" -- "Just how dare you!!!"
No, he writes.
"The wolves howled from the bare hilltops rounding like barrels covered with an unnerving coldness, stemming from the rain never crossed the top."
Or when he's happy.
"The peak shined in all its glory showing the walkers that no rain was coming and plants are about to eat."

You get the gist-- it's a bit hard to translate his prose-- use the terrain our his surroundings.

Post results, OP.
