Conflict is a crucial element in literature, driving narratives and character development. There are two main categories of conflict: internal and external. Internal conflict refers to a struggle within a character, often between conflicting desires or decisions (Person vs. Self). External conflict involves struggles outside the character, including Person vs. Person, where characters oppose each other's goals; Person vs. Nature, where characters contend with natural forces; and Person vs. Society, where characters confront societal norms and expectations. Recognizing these conflicts enriches the understanding of literary works.
