External conflict is when a main character is set against another character, society, technology, nature, or even powers like fate or supernatural forces.

The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is a high fantasy example of character vs. fate, where Moiraine searches for the prophesied Dragon Reborn, humanity’s weapon against the Dark One. In the case of speculative fiction, these internal conflicts can even be within sub-genres like werewolf tales, where characters may fight against their full-moon affliction.When your character’s battle is with the environment, weather or wildlife, it’s a nature conflict. In the past, this was often centred on the sea or deserted islands, with the challenge of survival against an untamed, unbeatable force. For a main character struggling alone, you can also layer external and internal conflict.

Tests include samples from all the Cambridge English papers, including the Speaking Tests, and are designed to mirror those found in the exams so learners become familiar with the format. Character vs. fate is a well-trodden central conflict, beloved in Greek myth with stories of characters, deities and prophecies.

Ideally, the opposition winning, with extreme consequences. Align (Or Misalign) The Conflict With Your Protagonist’s Wants The concept (and conflict) in Kristin Cashore’s ‘Graceling’ is that Katsa is born with a killing Grace — a rare, exceptional skill — and must rebel against the king exploiting her fate for a deadly advantage. Internal conflict is often used to shape the narrative of a literary or dramatic character in novels where the focus is on character development over plot. A detailed Cambridge English Qualifications mapping document is available in the Teacher Resource Center. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov is an influential collection of short stories within this conflict, and also science fiction. He defines the Three Laws of Robotics that protect humans, and then pushes them to their limits.Reading and Writing R Look and read. Choose the correct words and write them on the lines. There is one example. In the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, the protagonist, Celeana/Aelin faces off against four villains. This gives the seven-book series the room to pursue each conflict, with other characters also layering their own.

An example of central conflict is Brandon Sanderson’s The Final Empire (and the rest of the books in Mistborn Era One). The ‘character vs. society’ conflict in this epic fantasy sees the Skaa living in misery as slaves under the thousand-year-old Lord Ruler and his evil ministries, until a Skaa rebel named Kelsier escapes the empire’s prison and starts a revolution. How Do You Identify A Central Conflict? The Story Central and The Inks (3) app is a great way for young learners following Macmillan Education’s Story Central course at school to practice and build their language skills at home. The best way I’ve seen this explained is in Immediate Fiction by Jerry Cleaver (who as you might guess, is all about getting stories moving, fast). Cleaver states, ‘to create conflict, the kind that’s needed to move story, you must have two elements — a want and an obstacle’. In other words: Challenges players by increasing the language level, game speed and points available as they progress through each level and stage An excellent way to do this is by staggering your conflict’s development throughout your plot points. If you’re using something like Christopher Booker’s ‘The Seven Basic Plots’, it’s easy, as each plot has a framework for ratcheting up the tension as you progress.
