There are two types of conflict:
1. Internal
2. External

Internal Conflicts

  • Are decisions characters have to make.
  • Choices
  • Motivations from inside

External Conflicts

  • Are things the character has to deal with in his/her environment.
  • Other characters
  • Forces of nature
  • Societal rules

We sometimes categorize conflicts as

  • Man vs Man
  • Man vs Nature
  • Man vs Self
  • Man vs Society

Knowing the conflict helps us understand the motivations of the protagonist.
