The Exposition ~ ConflictToday we will be looking at Conflict…• Conflict is the struggle between two or more the opposing forces

When your conscious is playing with you…

External Conflict

4 Kinds1. Man versus Man2. Man versus Nature3. Man versus Society4. Man versus Physical

Obstacle

Man versus Man

•Two characters in an actual physical or verbal confrontation.

Man versus Nature

• character fighting against the forces of nature.• i.e., being left outside in a winter storm. You can freeze to death, so your fight is to survive.

Man versus Society

• When there is something going on in the world that the character tries to go against that is embedded in the structural workings of our society.

• i.e., if the character is dealing with stealing. In our society it's wrong to steal so, you must not steal, but some man or people stealing is what they do everyday but that is not what society believes is right.

Man-vs-Physical Obstacle• When the character has something

physically wrong with them that poses a challenge to their everyday survival.

• i.e., your in a race, fall down, and sprain your ankle. You get up, you can still run, but you have to limp the rest of the way. Your opposing force is the sprained ankle.
