antagonist. This type of conflict is very common and can be seen
in many traditional stories, myths, and fairy tales. A conflict may
involve a direct confrontation (gun fight), or be more subtle (feud
between rival families). Some examples include: "Harry Potter,”
by JK Rowling and “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins.

ii. Man vs. Nature


1. Involves an external conflict in which the protagonist struggles
against a force of nature such as a tornado, or angry swarm of
bees. Some examples are: "Robinson Crusoe," by Daniel Defoe
"Lord of the Flies," by William Golding and "Life of Pi." By Yann
Martel

iii. Man vs. Self


1. Involves an internal conflict within the protagonist usually due to
an external struggle. Generally the struggle is between good and
evil or maintaining moral standards. Some examples include:
"Hamlet," by William Shakespeare wherein Prince Hamlet
discovers the plot about his father’s death, 13 Reason’s Why by
Jay Asher and "Star Trek: The Original Series” wherein Captain Kirk
must decide between his love for a woman and his responsibility
to the future if humanity.

iv. Man vs. Society


1. Involves an internal or external conflict where the protagonist
stands against a man-made institution (corporation) or social
norm (bullying). Some examples include: "Fahrenheit 451," by Ray
Bradbury "Charlotte's Web," by E.B. White and "The Giver,” by
Lois Lowry.
v. Man vs. Machine
1. The protagonist must overcome a machine or technology. Most
often the encounter with the machine or technology is through
the character's own doing. For example, it may be technology or a
machine that they created, purchased, or owned with the
assumption that it would make their life easier. Ex: Transformers,
I Robot, Terminator, Total Recall
