Question

How does demonstration of both types of conflict contribute to the development of the character? Your answer should be at least one hundred words. WRITER

Answer 1

Internal struggles and external struggles are two completely different things that can often show up multiple times throughout stories. Internal conflict is a character’s personal struggle within themselves. This usually has to do with a tough decision of personal feelings about one’s self or one’s actions. It can be seen in Hamlet in his soliloquy To Be or Not To Be where he struggles with thoughts of self harm. External struggle is any conflict with someone or something else that can be seen by the outside world. This could be with another person like it appears in Hamlet between Hamlet and Claudius. It doesn’t always have to be a person, it could also be an idea or construct that is not within that one person.

Answer 2

Answer:

An internal conflict is a something some one is struggling with inside. An external conflict is a struggle that is happening in actual life.

Explanation:

An example from a movie or tv show could be that Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory has an internal struggle with telling peoples emotions. One of his external struggles could be that he doesn't like it when other people succeed. As he goes on with his life, he gets better with knowing when he has upset people or when someone succeeds he congratulates them instead of insulting them.
