Types of conflict

Conflict  Conflict is a necessary part of fictional literature  You will never find a piece of fictional writing that does NOT contain a specific type (or types) of conflict  It is defined as the problem and is often classified according to the nature of the protagonist or antagonist

Protagonist  The main character  Often known as the “good guy”  This character doesn’t always have to be good, however  They are the character around whom the events of the narrative's plot revolve and with whom the audience is intended to share the most empathy

Antagonist  The character, or group of characters who oppose the main character  Often known as the “bad guy” or “villian”  This character doesn’t always have to be bad, however  They represents the opposition against which the protagonist must contend

Types of Conflict 1.Character vs. Self 2.Character vs. Character 3.Character vs. Nature 4.Character vs. Supernatural 5.Character vs. Society 6.Character vs. Machine/Technology 7.Character vs. Destiny

Character vs. Self  when the main character in the story has a problem with him/herself  The conflict is internal

Character vs. Character  A conflict of two forms of like beings  the hero's conflicts with the central villain  There are usually several arguments/ disagreements before the climax is reached  The conflict is external

Character vs. Nature  places a character against forces of nature  Many disaster films focus on this theme, which is predominant within many survival stories  The conflict is external

Character vs. Supernatural  places a character against a spirit  This could be ghosts, monsters, demons, gods, etc.  One common example is the movie Ghostbusters  Or think of any horror movie that exists  The conflict is external

The “Others”  These are the secondary conflicts, but can still pop up in stories  Don’t think that these are any less important!!

Character vs. Society  a main character's main source of conflict is social traditions or concepts  Society itself is often looked at as single character  This conflict gives the writer an opportunity to comment on positive/ negative aspects of a whole

Character vs. Machine  places a character against robot forces with "artificial intelligence"  I, Robot and the Terminator series are good examples of this conflict

Character vs. Destiny  a character attempts to break free of a predetermined path chosen before him prior to his knowledge  If can also be referred to as an issue between fate and freewill
