7 types of narrative Conflict It can be perceived that every work of literature, and much non-fiction narrative, is based on at least one of seven conflicts. Although you need not focus explicitly on such themes, it would be wise to identify the conflicts inherent in your composition and apply them as you write.

7 types of narrative Conflict 1. Person vs. Fate/God This category could be considered part of conflict with self or with society. A person could confront fate as part of an internal struggle and religion is a construct of society. Some narratives explicitly name fate (Oedipus Rex) or God as the antagonist is a useful distinction.

7 types of narrative Conflict 2. Person vs. Self A person’s struggle with his or her own prejudices or doubts or character flaws constitutes this type of conflict. (Hamlet/The Lion King).

7 types of narrative Conflict 3. Person vs. Person Any story featuring a hero and a villain or villains represents this type of conflict. The villain could be real (Se7en) or an alter ego of the protagonist (Fight Club) or a stand in for society (Clockwork Orange).

7 types of narrative Conflict 4. Person vs. Society When the protagonist’s conflict extends to confronting institutions, traditions, or laws of his or her culture, he or she struggles to overcome them, either triumphing over a corrupt society (Erin Brokovich/ Legally Blonde ), rejecting it (Falling Down), or succumbing to it (1984)

7 types of narrative Conflict 5. Person vs. Nature In this conflict, the protagonist is pitted against nature (Cast Away) or a representation of it, often in the form of an animal (Jaws, Anaconda, The Happening).

7 types of narrative Conflict 6. Person vs. Supernatural Superficially, conflict with the supernatural may seem equivalent to conflict with fate or God, or representative of a struggle with an evocation of self (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) or nature (The Birds) or other worldly (The Exorcist/ The Shinning).

7 types of narrative Conflict 7. Person vs. Technology Humanity’s innate scepticism about the wonders of technology has resulted in many stories in which antagonists use technology to gain power (TRON) or in which technology takes over (I, Robot) or becomes a evil influence on society (Brave New World).
