There are four major types of conflict in a story: character versus self, character versus character, character versus society, and character versus nature. In this story, one might argue that the main conflict exists between Della Dillingham and herself (character vs. self) because she agonizes over what to get for her husband, Jim, for Christmas, as well as how to pay for it. She's only been able to save $1.87, and she is heartbroken that she will not be able to get him the kind of gift she feels he deserves: something of which he can be proud. Della wrestles a bit with herself, hence the conflict, eventually deciding to sell her hair in order to have enough money for such a gift.
One might also argue that the main conflict takes place between Della and Jim (character vs. character). Remember that conflict doesn't necessarily mean that one side is good, a hero, and one side is evil, a villain. To be an antagonist in literature means that one is an opposing force, an instrument of plot development, and perhaps an agent of change on the part of the protagonist. In the end, both Della and Jim have sold their most prized possessions in order to purchase something nice for the other, and those sales have rendered the gifts they receive essentially unusable.
I'm not sure if it would be a protagonist and antagonist?
<span>It could be stated that William Shakespeare was important to Maya Angelou's memoir because he played a significant role in her confidence and beginning in the world of fantasy and escape. She said that he was her “first love” and she felt so related and connected to him and she even said in an interview that Shakespeare might “have been a black girls. how else could he know exactly how she (I) felt?”</span>
Answer: Earth is our home and we have to love it. In earth are things humans needed but they destroy them and never worry about it. “Many animals are in extinction because of earth destruction.” Animals are disappearing since people don’t save nature. “Flora and fauna is destroying because we don’t take care of it.” Flora and fauna hurt because of all the damages we have done to it. “Global warming is happening over and over but no one think about it.” (Protecting the home we live in). Global warming is occurring all over earth but we don’t care about it. All this is happening because we never worry about our home and its problems.
Explanation:
There are a few themes there. First theme is between a person and the society. Antigone wants to bury him even though the representative of the society, which is the King, forbade it. She does it anyway and shows how an individual fought the system which she believed was wrong and corrupt.
Another theme is the divine law versus common law. Creon represents society and the law of the people while she was burying Polyneices according to Greek tradition based on their religious beliefs. She sticks to divine law over local law because she believes that Creon is wrong.
