    Conflict in Literature

    The five most common types of conflict used in literature are


    as follows:
    1.

    Character Struggling Against Another


    Character: This is the most obvious form of conflict,
    when a character in a book struggles with another
    character in the book. This can be in the form of
    arguments, conflicting desires, opposing goals, physical
    confrontations or emotional dilemmas.

    2. Character Struggling Internally With


    Self: Sometimes conflict is internal. When a character
    struggles with moral dilemmas, emotional challenges or
    desires he or she deems unsavory, the conflict is with
    the character's own soul or conscience.

    3. Character Struggling Against Forces of


    Nature: Sometimes all the characters in the book are
    the good guys and the conflict in the book is between
    all the people and forces of nature that are out of the
    characters' control.

    4. . Character Struggling Against


    Fantasy/Supernatural/Technology: This type of
    conflict is usually found in specific genres of literary
    style, such as fantasy, science fiction, horror and
    supernatural books. When the character comes up
    against poltergeists, robots, aliens, divine forces or
    supernatural villains, the main character must call upon
    his or her strength to defeat the fantastic enemy
    confronting him or her.

    5. Character Struggling Against Society: When the


    character is repressed by society and not by a specific
    character, the conflict takes place between that
    character and society
