~~ Intimacy between protag & antag: they both want or<br />
need the same thing: love, to win the race, etc.<br />
Character vs. Character<br />
~~ Two characters want something and believe only one<br />
can have it.<br />
~~ One character has something and another wants to get<br />
it from him/her.<br />
~~ One character is about to have something and another<br />
wants to prevent him/her from getting it.<br />
Character vs. Society<br />
~~ When an individual decides to challenge society against<br />
all odds (“you can’t fight city hall”), it creates conflict.<br />
~~ “Society” means “Them”. The Mafia, the CIA, the Nazis,<br />
The aliens, The government: the huge, impersonal forces<br />
that can control, threaten or ruin “us”, our lives or<br />
communities<br />
Character vs. Nature<br />
~~ Geography or natural disaster become the irrational<br />
antagonist as the protagonist tries to reach the safety of<br />
point B from point A.<br />
~~ The source of the conflict may in fact be the “hubris”<br />
(excess of pride, selfishness...) of the one or more<br />
characters who got everyone into such a dangerous spot in<br />
the first place.
