Let Us Study
What is conflict?
“In literature, a conflict is a literary device
characterized by a struggle between two opposing
forces. Conflict provides crucial tension in any story
and is used to reveal a deeper meaning in a
narrative while highlighting characters’
motivations, values and weaknesses.”
(Masterclass.com)
Conflict is an important element in the study of
stories, novels, plays, movies etc.

What are the two categories of conflict?

1.Internal Conflict is when a character struggles
with their own opposing desires or beliefs. Internal
conflict happens within them and it drives their
development as a character.
2.External Conflict sets a character against
something or someone beyond their control.
External forces stand in the way of a character’s
motivations and create a tension as the character
tries to reach their goals.

What are the 6 Types of Literary Conflicts?

1. Character vs. Self
This is an internal conflict, meaning that the
opposition the character faces is coming within.
This may entail a struggle to discern what the
moral or “right” choice is, or it may also encompass
mental health struggles. All other types of conflict
are external – meaning that a character comes up
against an outside force that creates a conflict.
2. Character vs. Character
This is a common type of conflict in which one
character’s needs or wants are at odds with
another’s. A character conflict can be depicted as a
straight-forward fist fight, or as intricate and
nuanced as the ongoing struggle for power in the
HBO series of Game of Thrones.
3.Character vs. Nature
In a nature conflict, a character is set in opposition
to nature. This can mean the weather, the
wilderness, or a natural disaster.
4. Character vs. Supernatural
Pitting characters against phenomena like ghosts,
gods, or monsters raises the stakes of a conflict by
creating an unequal playing field. Supernatural
conflict also covers characters, like Harry Potter or
Odysseus, who have a fate or destiny and struggle
to accept the sacrifices that come along with it.
5. Character vs. Technology
In this case, a character is in conflict with some
kind of technology. It is the hallmark of science
fiction, which explores the problems that arise
when technology grows beyond its intended use.
6. Character vs. Society
A character vs. society conflict is an external
conflict that occurs in literature when the
protagonist is placed in opposition with the society,
the government, or a cultural tradition or societal
norm of some kind. Characters may be motivated
to take action against their society by a need to
survive, a moral sense of right and wrong, or a
desire for happiness, freedom, justice or love
