Question

In “The Colomber” by Dino Buzzati, the colomber pursues Stefano for most of Stefano’s life. Which type of conflict does the colomber’s pursuit illustrate?

Answer 1

According to the key "pursue" I would define this conflict as an external. The relationships between characters are quite strained because colomber chases Stefano all the time. Colomber poses as the outside force which directly influences on the main character and provides dramatic action during the story.
