Throughout a lifetime, only so much conflict could be bore upon oneself. There is always a

Conflict is not something that can be avoided, especially in fiction. In fact, conflict is the main purpose of how a story came to be – without conflict, there will be no story. As quoted from Peder Hill (n.d.), “Its the primary ingredient that weaves together all the other elements of a novel”. However, conflict can arise in a story in various forms and they alter the course of the story. For instance, a conflict of decision. What decision is made by the characters moves the story. This is called external conflict, which Rector (2002) defines as “a struggle between a character and an outside force”. On the other hand, conflict within a character may also arise, which is called internal conflict. Internal conflict means “a struggle that

There are many different novels that show conflict. Conflict is shown in the well-known and engaging text; Fahrenheit 451 (F451) which was written by Ray Bradbury. The novel is set in a suburban, oppressive city in the 21st century, where books are banned. Guy Montag is a fireman; his job is to burn books because it is believed that they create discord & unhappiness. When Montag meets a woman named Clarisse, she asks if he has ever read a book – this makes Montag curious.

Conflict could be stated as a ‘a solemn difference between two or more beliefs, ideas or interests.’ In general, it is a fairly indispensable part of our lives as well as shapes individuals into who they are, and due to the consequences that linger around conflicts , it affects the relationship they have built with others along with their opinions towards them. This is evident in the award-winning play written by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. In which the two families , Capulet and Montague constantly compete each other, and in the midst of this heat, ‘a pair of star cross’d lovers’ strive for the sake of their short-lived love; as a result causing what is now known as ‘the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’. Correspondingly, in S.E

In Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Heathcliff’s strong love for Catherine guides his transformation as a character. While Heathcliff enters the story as an innocent child, the abuse he receives at a young age and his heartbreak at Catherine’s choice to marry Edgar Linton bring about a change within him. Heathcliff’s adulthood is consequently marked by jealousy and greed due to his separation from Catherine, along with manipulation and a deep desire to seek revenge on Edgar. Although Heathcliff uses deceit and manipulation to his advantage throughout the novel, he is never entirely content in his current situation. As Heathcliff attempts to revenge Edgar Linton, he does not gain true fulfillment. Throughout Wuthering Heights, Brontë uses Heathcliff’s vengeful actions to convey the message that manipulative and revenge-seeking behaviors will not bring a person satisfaction.

To write a good story you need to get the reader's attention, so I have some advice on how to . Conflict is a problem, if you use it to your advantage the reader will focus .When you make conflict, two neurochemicals are released, called Cortisol and Oxytocin. Cortisol helps the “ mind focus intensely on the source of that stress” (R. pg. 7, l. 49-50). Cortisol is

Heathcliff is a character defined by his sympathetic past. Growing up as an orphan from a tender age, deprived of a structured family and family support system, exposed to the negative influences life offered, it is almost a certainty that his behaviour will not be that of an ideal gentleman.

These male protagonists represent two different types of heroines. Both Heathcliff and Mr. Darcy appeal to the readers the most because of the way they approach their love situations. Heathcliff is seen to have the reversed role of Darcy, meaning, he did not grow up wealthy and he is fighting to be with Catherine who is of superior society. He also catches the audience attention in the beginning of the novel. He is seen to be cruel, anxious, and mysterious. Not until later does the reader find out that Heathcliff loves and romantic towards the

To write a compelling story, you will need to include conflict. Conflict is one of the main ingredients you will need for a story since it captures the reader's attention. According to Rekenthaler conflict results in the release of oxytocin which can generate strong feelings of connection. Connecting to the story plays a big role to form a story worthwhile. If the reader can't connect, the story can

Upon hindsight following the two novels, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, one would label the monster and Heathcliff to be nothing short of villainous characters. Throughout each individual novel the two leads perform heinous actions that should leave readers feeling repulsed, and with no ounce of sympathy towards the principal characters; nonetheless, it is impossible not to. Heathcliff and the monster are not evil but rather characters to sympathize, both are the products of their environment and correspondingly, although for divergent reasons, are motivated by the supereminent emotions—love and hate.

Texts that deal with the theme of conflict make us think. Conflict is the centre of all dramatic development in the three texts I will be discussing. These are Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, and O Brother Where Art Thou’, directed by Joel Coen. There are many forms of conflict expressed in these texts. These include both emotional and physical conflict. Conflict has been brought about in many ways throughout these texts. Most of which has been fuelled by inner discord. However a person’s inner conflict can often lead to violent activity. This demonstrates that both forms of conflict are indeed affiliated.

Conflict is opposing actions, ideas, and decisions that hold a plot together. Clugston (2014) states “Conflict is the struggle that shapes the plot in a story” (4.1 Plot, para. 4). Conflicts are also encountered in most of the literature we read for pleasure. It can create personal connections and instill deeper meanings to our experiences as we read, especially if we can relate what is read to our personal life.

Have you wondered why we read books? We do this to experience the life and conflict of the characters. Life and literature are always ongoing even though we have an infinite life span. Even when we died our stories life on throughout the ages. We experience conflict, characterization, narration throughout life and literature by people telling us how we look and how we feel about it. As a reader myself, I have read a whole slew of books and seen conflict, characterization, and narration throughout the books. Conflict, characterization, and narration are connected with literature and life.

In Wuthering Heights, the character Heathcliff is quite passionately in love with Catherine Earnshaw/Linton. His love for her overpowers his life, his desire to live comes from her, and his need to get his revenge on her and the those who wronged him. Heathcliff wishes Catherine torment. He wants her to suffer always, but states he cannot live without her, and that she is his soul. Heathcliff’s quote parallels to an earlier chapter in the narrative, when Catherine claimed to Nelly that her and Heathcliff are one in the same.

Heathcliff's role as an avenger is helped by his intelligence and understanding, not just of his own motivations, but of the motivations of others. He recognizes the source of Isabella's infatuation that-: "she abandoned this under a delusion" - "picturing in me a hero of romance". He also capitalizes on Linton's poor health by inviting the pity of Cathy so that her affection and sympathy would facilitate a marriage that would leave he, Heathcliff, as master of the Grange.

Throughout the novel, characters use the term 'devil' for cruel characters. This is not only Heathcliff, but also characters such as Hindley who is called “Devil daddy”.13 Unlike novels like The String of Pearls, Wuthering Heights is more ambiguous about who the main villain is and if that villain is completely evil. It is questioned if Heathcliff is a devil also by characters in the novel such as Isabella.14 Heathcliff mysterious disappearance and sudden wealth is never explained in the novel, with the characters not knowing what he did and whether or not he acted legally. In those few years Heathcliff turns from a victim into an abuser both physically and mentally. Critic N.M. Jacobs argues that Healthcliff's absence made him a man, yet with no womanly emotion15. Heathcliff is according to Jacobs not womenly in the sense of being sympathetic, instead he is angry and power-seeking. These traits that are similar to other villains in Victorian Literature and also associated with
