  • What are the two types of conflict?
    External Conflict and Internal Conflict
  • It is a kind of conflict that takes place within the mind of the character, and often involves the character making a decision between right and wrong, or other mixed emotions. However, this struggle could also exist in the form of a character battling mental illness.
    MAN VS. SELF
  • This mode lies at the heart of all dramatic arts and places the struggle directly between the protagonist and the antagonist - otherwise known as the good guy and the bad guy. In this kind of conflict, the protagonist wants something, and the antagonist obstructs the protagonist from getting what he wants.
    MAN VS. MAN
  • This mode of external conflict occurs when the protagonist is placed at odds with a government or cultural tradition. This type of conflict applies to societal norms as well.
    MAN VS. SOCIETY
  • This type of conflict pits the main character against the forces of nature - in the form of a natural disaster or a similarly dangerous situation - and often associated with literary naturalism, which hinges the idea that nature is different to humanity.
    MAN VS. NATURE
  • This type of conflict occurs when a person runs into a conflict with some type of technological problem.
    MAN VS. TECHNOLOGY
  • This type of conflict falls into a similar standard: if the protagonist is the only one witnessing supernatural acts, it could be considered "man vs. self". However, if it's certain that these supernatural powers are real, then the mode of conflict stands on its own.
    MAN VS. SUPERNATURAL
