We covered types of conflict in our short story unit. But let's refresh! Quickly see if you can list the different types of conflict that can be found in a short story (or myth!) I'll wait.

Okay! Check with this list and see if you got them right!
There are four kinds of conflict:
1) Man vs. Man - The leading character struggles with his physical strength against other men, forces of nature, or animals.
2) Man vs. Circumstances - The leading character struggles against fate, or the circumstances of life facing him/her.
3) Man vs. Society/Environment - The leading character struggles against ideas, practices, or customs of other people.
4) Man vs. Self - The leading character struggles with himself/herself; with his/her own soul, ideas of right or wrong, physical limitations, choices, etc.
Each of these kinds of conflict can be labelled as either internal or external. Which of the four choices above are internal? Which are external? Write down your answers and we will go over them in class :)
Watch the video clip below. What kind of conflict is Meg experiencing here? Why? Is it internal or external?
