Read the following passage. Jorge and Ben are best friends, but they aren’t speaking. Jorge thinks that Ben reported him for che
ating during the game. Which type of conflict is the character experiencing? a. character vs. self
b. character vs. character
c. character vs. fate
d. character vs. nature
This is because there are two made up people and it is written in the third person. If it was 'self' then it would include the word 'I' or 'me'. Also fate and nature would not make sense because they are not living things like characters.
Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given passage we can see an example of a character vs. character conflict, because it is between Ben and Jorge (who are friends but aren't speaking to each other).
Remember, major characters are those who are central to the main plot and story conflicts. ... Minor characters are there to support the major characters but have less influence on the story.
