Based on the summary the type of conflict that Life of Pi explores is Man vs. Nature.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Yann Martel’s fantasy creation “Life of Pi” is about Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel, a Tamil boy and the protagonist who lived in Pondicherry but while shifting countries along with his family and zoo animals met with a shipwreck. He gets into a lifeboat and is stranded in the Pacific Ocean. Soon he discovers he is not alone.
Richard Parker, the Royal Bengal Tiger is his co-rider. Thus, this fantasy adventure novel takes the readers on a ride to explore Pi’s issues of spirituality and practicality from an early age. He survives 227 days along with the tiger on a lifeboat both adjusting to each other’s company. The conflict of man vs. nature is quite clear throughout the plot of the novel.
Hmm....I think that Grendel's revalation offers a type of transition between Grendel's innocent and ignorant childhood and his adulthood as a student of philosophy. In the vast span of time the entirety of mankind's history register's little more than a brief flash.
