Explanation:

External conflict in a literary work refers to a fight or struggle between the main character and some outside force. An outside force means it is outside the body of the character. There are three main types of external conflict in literature:

• Character to character: The most common one is the protagonist versus the antagonist, a character feuding with a close friend is an example of a character to character conflict.

• Character versus society: This conflict refers to the main character struggling with social forces, examples of this conflict are a character being judged by the community and a character living in a harsh environment, when a harsh environment refers to the social environment he is surrounded by.

• Character versus nature: When the protagonist struggles against forces of nature. An example can also be a character living in a harsh environment, when it refers to climate conditions.
