TYPES OF CONFLICT

Conflict in literature refers to the different drives of the characters or forces

involved. Conflict may be internal or external that is, it may occur within a
character's mind or between a character and exterior forces, (or point(s) of
view). Conflict is most visible between two or more characters, usually a
protagonist and an antagonist,enemy,villain, but can occur in many different
forms. A character may as easily find himself or herself in conflict with a natural
force, such as an animal or a weather event, like a hurricane. The literary
purpose of conflict is to create tension in the story, making readers more
interested by leaving them uncertain which of the characters or forces will
prevail.
person against self
With "man against self" conflict, the struggle is internal. This is a conflict that is
usually associated with an external conflict. A character must overcome his own
nature or make a choice between two or more paths good and evil, logic and
emotion. Examples:
Koala Lou (realizes his mom loves him no matter what)
Owl Babies (conquer their fear of being left without Mom)
Edward the Emu (any story like this works where the character is not
comfortable being who he is and wants to be something else.)
person against person
Conflict involves stories where characters are against each other. This is an
external conflict. The conflict may be direct opposition, as in a gunfight or a
robbery, or it may be a more subtle conflict between the desires of two or more
characters, as in a romance or a family epic. This type of conflict is very common
in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths. Examples:
Dogzilla (Dogzilla vs. the mice army of Mousopolis)
My Rotten Red-Headed Older Brother (a Polacco favorite)
The Three Wolves and the Big Bad Pig (a spoof on the 3 Pigs)
The Mysterious Giant of Barletta (giant vs. advancing army)
Suddenly (Preston the pig vs the menacing wolf)
person against society
Where man stands against a man-made institution (such as slavery or bullying),
"man against man" conflict may shade into "man against society". In such

stories, characters are forced to make moral choices or frustrated by social rules
in meeting their own goals. Examples :
Holocaust books work well here (Let the Celebrations Begin, the picture book
version of the Diary of Anne Frank, The Lily Cupboard.)
Books about racism towards African Americans: Teammates; Freedom Summer;
Freedom School, Yes!
Books about the Japanese Internment camps during WWII: The Bracelet, Baseball
Saved Us, The Lucky Baseball, Journey Home
I suppose even the issue of homelessness would be considered a societal issue:
Fly Away Home, Lady in the Box.
Man against nature
Conflict is an external struggle positioning the hero against an animal or a force
of nature such as a storm or tornado or snow. Examples:
Brave Irene (fights the blizzard in order to deliver the dress)
Ghost Eye Tree (the little boy fears the spooky tree)
