4 types of conflict Character vs. Character Character vs. Nature Character vs. Society Character vs. Self

Character vs. Character Conflict This type of conflict finds the main character in conflict with another character, human or not human. “The new one is the most beautiful of all; he is so young and pretty.” And the old swans bowed their heads before him. Then he felt quite ashamed, and hid his head under his wing; for he did not know what to do, he was so happy, and yet not at all proud. He had been persecuted and despised for his ugliness, and now he heard them say he was the most beautiful of all the birds. The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson

Character vs. Nature Conflict This type of conflict finds the main character in conflict with the forces of nature, which serve as the antagonist. It´s a Truffula Seed. It´s the last one of all! You´re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss

Character vs. Society Conflict This type of conflict has the main character in conflict with a larger group: a community, society, culture, etc. “I’m tired of living in a hole,” said Jenny. “Let’s fight for freedom!” cried Bouncer. “We’ll be soldiers! Rough-riding Rowdies! I’ll be the general and commander-in-chief!” The Island of the Skog by Steven Kellogg

Character vs. Self Conflict In this type of conflict, the main character experiences some kind of inner conflict. Finally, Sam’s father said, “Go to bed now. But before you go to sleep, Sam, tell yourself the difference between REAL and MOONSHINE.” Sam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness

Rising Action Part of the plot in which the action develops, and suspense builds up to the climax. Occurs as you begin to move throughout the story. This is where conflicts start to build.

Climax The turning point of the story. Story changes direction Part of the plot in which the most exciting part (crucial part) of story happens. The story changes direction. This point in the story is when things finally start to move in a different direction and it may not always be a positive direction.

Falling Action Occurs after the climax as things start to work themselves out in the story. Part of the plot in which the story is clearly winding down and reaching a conclusion.

The Resolution Part of the plot in which the story concludes and loose ends are tied up The conflict isn’t always resolved, but the end has come. The solution might not be what you want, but the conflict has been resolved.

The End…. Now that we have identified and defined the elements of a short story, let us use the elements to analyze a familiar fairytale. You may use your notes from the PowerPoint presentation or consult the newsletter handout, “Analyzing a Short Story.”
