Ito ay maaaring isang personal na laban, emosyonal na alitan, o patuloy na kompetisyon. 3. **Tunggalian ng Tao Laban sa Kalikasan (Man vs. Nature):** Ito ay tunggalian kung saan ang pangunahing tauhan ay naghaharap sa kalikasan o mga likas na panganib tulad ng kalamidad, hayop, o kalupitan ng kalikasan. Halimbawa, isang tauhan na nakikipaglaban sa isang bagyo o sa pag-akyat ng bundok. 4. **Tunggalian ng Tao Laban sa Lipunan (Man vs. Society):** Ito ay tunggalian kung saan ang pangunahing tauhan ay nag-aalsa o nagtatangka na baguhin ang masalimuot na sistema o lipunan kung saan siya kasali. Halimbawa, isang tauhan na lumalaban sa katiwalian sa gobyerno o sa mga sosyal na isyu. 5. **Tunggalian ng Tao Laban sa Diyos o Kapalaran (Man vs. Fate or God):** Ito ay tunggalian kung saan ang pangunahing tauhan ay nakikipagtalo o nagtatanong sa mga teolohikal o espiritwal na aspeto ng buhay, tulad ng kapalaran o relihiyon. Halimbawa, isang tauhan na nagtatanong kung bakit may masamang nangyayari sa kanya kahit na siya ay mabuti. 6. **Tunggalian ng Tao Laban sa Teknolohiya (Man vs. Technology):** Ito ay tunggalian kung saan ang pangunahing tauhan ay nag-aalsa o naghaharap sa mga suliraning dulot ng teknolohiya o makina. Halimbawa, ang mga kwento tungkol sa pag-angkin ng makina o robot na nagiging banta sa tao. Ang mga iba't-ibang uri ng tunggalian na ito ay nagbibigay buhay at kapanapanabik na kwento sa panitikan.

• Brandon Sanderson’s character + plot + setting formula is mentioned, stating that these things are all driven by conflict
• Numerous responses suggest ideas for adding conflict:
  • Characters with mutually exclusive goals or desires (Man vs. Man)
  • Ideological clash (Man vs. Man)
  • Conflict between character and their own feelings, doubts or fears (Man vs. Self)
  • Obstacles and challenges in the environment and surroundings (Man vs. Nature)
  • Conflict between the character and societal structures or norms (Man vs. Society)

• Another user recommends The Lester Dent Method, which explores the interplay between conflict, mystery, and surprise

• They also offer support to the idea that conflicts can result from a character’s struggle with their own internal mental conflicts and provide examples.

• Title: Four Layers of Conflict
• Byline: Posted by u/Stornfury5 years ago
• Subreddit: r/writing
• Upvotes: 71 points
• Introduction:
  • Stories require conflict, without conflict a story lacks momentum and can bore readers.
  • Establishing conflict can be difficult.
• Four layers of conflict:
  • Internal conflict: Character grapples with own motivations, desires, and demons.
    • Examples:
      • Kaladin Stormblessed - The Way of Kings
      • Frodo Baggins - The Lord of the Rings
      • Harry Potter - Harry Potter Series
  • Personal conflict: Conflict between individual people, friends, family, co-workers, classmates, etc.
    • Personal antagonist: provides a lot of personal conflict on a scene-to-scene basis
      • Examples: Malfoy from Harry Potter, Ambrose from The Name of the Wind -Deep conflicts between people who are close, like fathers, daughters, best friends, etc provide more emotional stakes.
      • Can be based on disagreements on methods or motivations.
  • External conflict: Physical threats like a Dark Lord coming to kill you, an asteroid headed for Earth, or a stalker serial-killer hunting down your girlfriend, every story needs external conflict.
    • Examples: orcs, monsters, murderers.
    • External conflict creates stakes.
  • Political conflict: Mix the conflicts over the story’s course with a larger political context.
    • It just means that there is a larger thematic point to your story.
    • Example: A story about a stalker who turns into a murderer might have some quite explicit things to say about domestic abuse.
• Combining the four layers of conflict comes together to make a compelling story.
• Examples of where the four layers of conflict appeared in Marvel’s Black Panther.
  • Internal conflict:
    • T’Challa is placed in the new position of King, not being given much time to mourn his father.
    • T’Challa struggles with the expectations placed on him.
    • Conflicted between the idealistic image of his father and the truth of the matter. -Personal conflict:
    • T’Challa is having to argue with Nakia about Wakanda’s state in the world as they disagree fundamentally about what Wakanda should be. -personal conflict ties into political conflict
  • External conflict:
    • T’Challa must protect Wakanda as well as prevent the world from being

• The webpage is a discussion thread on Reddit about the characterization in Rogue One.
• One user expresses concern about future Star Wars movies relying too heavily on references and not providing actual substance.
• Another user defends the humor in the characterization of Vader, saying it is consistent with his character in the original trilogy.
• Users discuss potential references in the Han Solo movie, including scenes about the Kessel Run and Han winning the Falcon from Lando, and the possibility of CGI Leia appearing.
• A user criticizes the idea of having the two characters from the infamous cantina scene in A New Hope make an appearance in Rogue One because it feels contrived and forced.
• Several users are critical of Rogue One’s use of references to the original trilogy, including the inclusion of C-3PO, R2-D2, Leia, and Vader as unnecessary and cringey.
• One user defends these references, arguing that they make sense to the story and that it is unrealistic to expect the movie to completely avoid references.
• Another user argues that referencing characters and locations from the Star Wars movies is inevitable in stand-alone movies, but that gratuitous references can still be a problem.
• A user dislikes the way Rogue One adds new elements to the Star Wars universe retroactively, such as the idea that the Jedi Order used droids that shoot shocks that Luke Skywalker blocks with his lightsaber in A New Hope.
• Multiple users criticize the way Rogue One relies on coincidences that are purely fan service, such as having the two cantina characters appear days apart on two different planets.
• Users discuss the ways in which stand-alone movies can focus on different aspects of the Star Wars universe, such as the Death Star in Rogue One or the Han Solo character in the upcoming movie.
• Some users express concern that Disney’s ownership of the Star Wars franchise will lead to a focus on profit over substance, but others are more optimistic.
• The thread contains a mixture of positive and negative opinions about the Star Wars movies and their characterization.

• Conflict is what makes a story.
• In genre fiction (or plot-driven stories), the main conflict is always external. Internal conflict is there for character development.
• In literary fiction, the main conflict can be internal, but the writer needs to focus on conflict about something.
• There are different types of internal, personal, and extra-personal conflicts.
• A lot of conflict in literary fiction is subtext, internalized, happening under the surface, or driving forces from the inner feelings of the characters involved.
• The internal conflict can be the main problem, and external conflict can spice up the story.
• Inner conflict would necessarily manifest itself outwardly as well in some way, therefore acting as a source for external conflict.
• Without an external conflict, a compelling story may not be created.
• Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River” & “A Clean, Well Lighted Place”, O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi”, Poe’s “The Cask of the Amontillado”, and Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” are literary examples with conflict created by the characters’ inner thoughts/desires/workings/etc.
• Ken Liu’s “The Paper Managerie” is a quick example of fantasy fiction that has its driving force from the internal feelings of the characters involved.
• Real Life by Brandon Taylor is one of the best novels that’s tightly focused on an internal conflict.
