Conflict is a core element of storytelling that creates tension and drives narrative. It can be external, involving a character's struggle against outside forces like other characters, society, or nature. Alternatively, internal conflict occurs within a character, grappling with their own desires, emotions, or decisions. Each type of conflict propels the story forward and enhances reader engagement. Common examples include character vs. character battles, societal challenges, cultural clashes, and personal struggles. Understanding these dynamics enriches storytelling techniques.
