topic presented? Anyone from the group who

wants to share?

Okay, very good! It seems that you interacted

well with your previous lesson and I hope
you’ll do the same today.
C. Motivation
Now class, look at this picture,
(Confused about which dircetion to take)

He is confused about which direction to

take.
What does the character try to show? Or what
can you say about him?

Yes! Precisely! The boy is quite confused

about which direction he is going to take. He The boy is struggling with how he will

has to make a decision.

How about this one? (Parents arguing)

 lOMoARcPSD|23721830

Absolutely! The area is flooded and the

civilians badly need help. Good thing, the PROBLEM
rescuers are there to help them.

STRUGGLE
Okay, so after seeing those 3 pictures, let’s
have some guessing game. You need to guess
these words and/or phrases that are
particularly associated with the pictures I OPPOSING FORCES
have shown a while back.

1. One word. Starts with the letter P,

ends with the letter M and consists of
7 letters. TENSION
PROBLEM

2. One word. Starts with the letter S, CONFLICT

ends with the letter E, and consists of
8 letters.
STRUGGLE

3. A two-word phrase. Starts with O and

F, ends with G and S. First word
consists of 8 letters, and the second Problem, struggle)
word consists of 6.
OPPOSING FORCES

4. One word. Starts with T and ends with

N with 7 letters.
TENSION

Now, using these 3 words and 1 phrase, can

you sum them up to come up with only one
word? It begins with the letter C and ends
with T, consisting of 8 letters.

Yes! Very good! It’s CONFLICT and that will

be our lesson for today.

D. Discussion
So, what do we mean by CONFLICT?

Yes. Conflict, as one of the elements of a

story, is a STRUGGLE between two
OPPOSING FORCES.

When we say struggle, it is a forceful effort to

reach an objective. And when we say External conflict and Internal Conflict
opposing forces, it means, contradicting or

 lOMoARcPSD|23721830

fighting.

According to Masteclass.com, in literature, a

conflict provides crucial tension in any story
and is used to reveal deeper meaning in a
narrative while highlighting the character’s
motivations, values, and weaknesses.

Conflict is an important element in the study

of stories, novels, plays, movies, etc. And it
has two categories namely
INTERNAL and EXTERNAL CONFLICT.

Internal conflict is when a character struggles

with their own opposing desires or beliefs. It
happens within them, and it drives their
development as a character.

External conflict sets a character against

something or someone beyond their control.
External forces stands in the way of a
character’s motivations and create a tension
as the character tries to reach their goals.

What are the two categories of conflict again?

Yes. Take not class that when we say internal,

the conflict is happening inside the body and
if external, the conflict is outside the body.
For example, in this picture that I have shown
awhile back (parent arguing) since the
character is in conflict with the other
character, this fall on EXTERNAL
CONFLICT

And in here, (picture of the undecided boy)

since the character is in conflict with himself,
this fall on INTERNAL CONFLICT

Moreover, Literary Conflicts has 6 types.

1. Character vs. self, in which a
character faces an internal struggle.
Ex. Your friend offered an ice cream
and an apple yet you have to choose
only one among the two. Considering
that an apple is healthier because you
can gain vitamin and mineral from it,
Student N will enumerate
yet, since the wheater is hot, so you
also want to be refreshed by eating ice
cream. So, the conflict between
(sharing)
yourself is there. Your own thought is

 lOMoARcPSD|23721830

opposing within you.

2. Character vs. character, in which two
(or more) characters are in conflict.
This is a common type of conflict and
may be depicted as a straight-forward
fist-fight or if the character’s wants
and needs are in odd with another’s. In
here, the character is opposing with
another character. For example, in the
story of Romeo and Juliet. They
weren’t battled against their family, IC – character vs self
instead, they faught for their love by
getting married secretly.
3. Character vs. nature, in which the EC – character vs nature
conflict is rooted in a natural
phenomenon. This can mean the EC – character vs supernatural
weather, wilderness, or natural
disasters.
4. Character vs. supernatural, in which a IC
character faces supernatural forces.
This can be against gods, ghosts, or IC
monster. For example, in the epic
poem. Beowulf wherein Beowulf EC – character vs supernatural
battled with the monstrous creature
named Grendel IC
5. Character vs. society, in which
conflict comes from an unjust social
climate. For example, in the story of EC – character vs character
The Bench where the white
discriminates the black. (racism)
6. Character vs. technology, in which the IC
conflict is rooted in science. It is when
a character is facing a machines or
robots and must prevail against the IC
character.

So, that are the 6 types of Literary Conflicts.

Who can enumerate it all?

Now, who wants to share some conflicts you

encountered today and try to tell which type
of conflicts it belong?
Yes ma’am

Now, what do we mean by conflict again?

Yes, very good! It is a literary device

characterized by a struggle between two
opposing forces. And take note that conflict is
important in a lstory because for most of the
time, it makes the reader more interested
because of the tension it brought. It simply
hooked the readers as they discover which
character will prevail.

Lastly, conflict is an important element to any

stories for it not just make the plot exciting
and interesting, but also, it reveals opposing
beliefs and truths about life that readers can
relate to it.

In actually, conflict is not always bad and

does not have to result in violence. It is part
of everyday life and cannot be avoided.
However, whether a conflict escalates, ends
negatively, or resolved, it is entirely based on
the character’s choice. And that choice will
reveal the character’s belief, values, attitudes
and feelings. Most often than not, his/her
response to a conflict determines how a
situation end.
