Internal or External Conflict

What is Conflict?• A conflict is a struggle between opposing forces. • There are two main kinds of conflict in stories: internal and

external.

Internal Conflict

• A struggle that takes place in a character's mind is called internal conflict. For example, a character may have to decide between right and wrong or between two solutions to a problem. Sometimes, a character must deal with his or her own mixed feelings or emotions.

• Character vs. Self

External Conflict• A struggle between a character and an outside force is an

external conflict. Characters may face several types of outside forces. The outside force may be another character. It may be the community. The outside force may also be forces of nature. For example, a story might be the main character struggling against the arctic cold.
