Storytelling

Most commonly, narrative text is used to narrate the bulk of a story, as opposed to the sections of character dialogue. To seem realistic, dialogue generally has to be shortwinded and relatively simple in style. Narrative text, on the other hand, can be written in a denser style in which a lot of information is packed. This allows you to narrate the story while conveying any number of other points to your reader, such as philosophical implications. Dialogue can also accomplish this, however the points you make are likely to be vaguer and/or shrouded due to the relative simplicity of dialogue text.
