Literary Conflict

How does external conflict differ from internal conflict in literature?

• External conflict involves a character's struggle with external forces, while internal conflict involves a struggle within the character's own mind.

• External conflict does not affect the plot, while internal conflict is the main driver of the story.

• External conflict is always resolved by the end of the story, while internal conflict is not.

• There is no difference; both terms mean the same thing.
