Why the author of “To Build a Fire” chose to have no dialogue?

In the story "To Build a Fire," London tells the story of a man who dies in the Arctic. However, it is important to note that the man in question does not have a name, nor is there any dialogue associated with his character.

There are two main reasons why the author most likely decided to create the character in this way. First, such a lack of development allows the man to remain anonymous. Therefore, the reader understands that this is the story of many men who died in similar ways. It allows the character to stand for a variety of men in similar circumstances.

The second reason is that it contributes to highlighting the insignificance of the man. By not giving the man a name or dialogue, the author is able to minimize the importance of the man, and thus make the power of the surrounding nature all the more important and impressive.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
