D. Abstraction
Let us further explain the meaning of conflicts in literature and its
categories.

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.

Including both internal and external conflict is crucial for a good story,
because life always includes both.

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.
This external conflict illustrates a character in conflict with technology. At
its best, character vs. technology conflict raises poignant questions for the
characters and readers alike about what it means to be human and sets
us apart from machines.

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.

Why is conflict important in a story?

Most of the time, readers become more interested in a literary piece

 because of the tension in the story. Readers are simply hooked in order to
discover which of the characters or forces will eventually prevail. Conflict
is a necessary element for all stories whether it is a novel, short story,
mystery, romance, children’s story because it makes the plot interesting
and exciting. A conflict in a literary piece also reveals opposing beliefs and
truths about life that readers can easily relate to.

How are conflicts resolved in a story?

In actuality, conflict is not always bad and does not have to result in
violence or hurt feelings. Conflicts are part of everyday life and they
cannot be avoided. However, whether a conflict escalates, ends
negatively or is resolved and ends peacefully in a literary selection, is
entirely based on the choices a character/s make. The choices
made by a character in a story reveals his/her feelings, values and
attitudes. Most often than not, his/her response to a conflict determines
how a situation ends.

E. Application
Let us practice identifying the conflicts presented in each situation. Read
and understand each scenario and answer the questions that follow.

Direction: Identify the type of conflict depicted in the following:

1. Manuelita had been chubby since she was a toddler. She became even
heavier as she grew as a teenager. She was often teased in school for
being heavy. Manuelita became so determined to lose weight. Now,
Manuelita is very skinny, however, she still sees her old overweight self
whenever she looks in the mirror. Her family and friends tried their best
to convince her how beautiful she is, yet she had a hard time believing
them. What is even worse is that she still continues to go on a diet. Will
Manuelita be able to reconcile her body image with reality or will she still
continue to have a distorted image of herself?
