1. Internal Conflict (Character vs. Self): Internal conflict occurs within a character’s mind and involves struggles with personal dilemmas, moral choices, or emotional turmoil. This type of conflict is crucial for character development and allows readers to connect deeply with characters on a psychological level. For instance, in Shakespeare's Hamlet, the protagonist wrestles with doubts and uncertainties about avenging his father’s murder, leading to profound introspection and tragic consequences. Internal conflicts often explore themes of identity, morality, and self-acceptance.
2. External Conflict (Character vs. Character): This is one of the most straightforward and dynamic forms of conflict, involving direct opposition between characters. The clash can be physical, ideological, or emotional. For example, in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, Harry Potter’s ongoing battle with Voldemort represents a classic external conflict where the hero fights against a formidable antagonist. Such conflicts drive the plot forward and create tension and suspense, highlighting different facets of the characters involved.
3. Character vs. Society: This type of conflict involves a character's struggle against societal norms, laws, or cultural expectations. It reflects broader social issues and can drive themes related to justice, freedom, and individuality. In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith’s struggle against the oppressive regime of Big Brother exemplifies this conflict, showcasing the impact of totalitarianism on personal freedom and truth. Character vs. society conflicts often address themes of resistance, conformity, and rebellion.
4. Character vs. Nature: Here, the conflict arises from a character’s struggle against natural forces or elements. This can include challenges posed by the environment, such as extreme weather, natural disasters, or the wilderness. In Jack London’s To Build a Fire, the protagonist's battle against the harsh Arctic environment serves as a metaphor for human vulnerability and the limits of individual power. Such conflicts often explore themes of survival, resilience, and the human relationship with nature.

common type of external

universally understood as a

counters a
character against
some force of
nature, such as an
animal or the

a law, or some other
societal construct, it is a

aliens, and ghosts – any
typically unbelievable,
supernatural, or

– provide Person vs.

A character battling inner
demons, one who has an
inner moral conflict
(think Hamlet), or is

a better person is in a
Person vs. Self conflict.
