Question

There are four main types of conflict. Many stories will have more than one type of conflict.

Character vs. character: It's the most common type of conflict in a story. This is any kind of struggle between two or more people.

Character vs. nature: This is when a character must overcome some natural obstacle or condition.

Character vs. society: A struggle against society occurs when a character is at odds with a particular social force or condition produced by society, such as poverty, political revolution, a social convention or set of values.

Characters vs. themselves: Within a character, parts of his or her personality may struggle for dominance. This conflict is usually about making a choice.
