    In literature, there are four types of major conflicts, and in many cases these conflicts are beyond the characters control. These four types of conflicts are man versus another man, for example in The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, a major man versus man conflict are the rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. Another conflict is man versus nature, where a person is in trouble with a force of nature, like a tornado, or in this case a fire.

An man versus self, is where a character struggles against him or herself, with unwanted feelings. The main types of conflict that can be found in this book are, man versus man, man versus…

    In the Kite Runner, conflict is evident throughout; physical conflict of the war, Baba’s internal fight against cancer, Hassan’s constant battle with the society he lived in, Sohrab’s struggle to accept and trust Amir, but none more prominent than Amir’s conflict with his emotions and his own image of himself. The entirety of Hosseini’s novel is based around the self-conscious narrative of a guilty man who struggles to come to terms with the consequences of the, decisively wrong, decisions he made as a child, which seems to have caused a domino effect on his whole life, never truly able to make the right choice until the end of the novel when he finally chose to stand up and stand up for what is right instead of running and hiding- saving the last ounce of his brothers happiness, his son, Sohrab.…

    The greatest allure to this book is in the ability to relate to the lifelike characters and their struggles. Although the characters are young, ruffian, gang members, their perceptively portrayed struggles with fear, self-doubt, loss and grief, family conflict, questioning of life's fairness, and their feelings of being ostracized, are timeless, and many readers will be able to understand and empathize with them. Much of the charm of the book is in the sensitively detailed close, tight bonds of friendships and family. The characters loyalties, compassion, support, and reliance upon one other is heartwarming. The reader can easily care about, and sympathize with, each of them. These timeless themes, and relatable characters, give the book a relevant and enduring appeal that readers in every generation will continue to appreciate.…

    Gone are his nonconformist attitude, his rebellious thoughts, and his idealistic dreams of passion. Instead, he has settled down to live a tranquil, ordinary, even mediocre life. Perhaps Archer never was special to begin with? Perhaps all those so-called conformists–even the staid Mr. Welland–once harbored their own thoughts and dreams in their youth just as Archer did in his? Perhaps Archer’s tale is not a unique one and countless idealistic youths before him have had their dreams slowly crushed by the overbearing weight of society. In the face of inevitable imprisonment by societal pressures, is individualism futile? It would take a veritable superman to break free of the mediocrity, conformity, and depravity of the mortal world and live life on his own terms. Having fought against society and lost, Archer must now return to a tepid, ordinary life within the bounds of a decadent…

    Oliver Twist Analysis

    • 1127 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Oliver Twist, a poor, innocent orphan boy, stands out in this story as the main character, but it is the supporting characters that allow this novel to develop a much more satisfying and believable theme. With "Good V.S. Evil" as one of the major conflicts, in such categories are the secondary characters found as well. Three supporting characters of Oliver Twist aid the elaboration of the story; these significant characters are Mr. Brownlow representing purity, integrity and goodness, Nancy as partially righteous, partially villain and lastly on the other extreme of the scale: Fagin, the symbol of evil, corruption and manipulation. Throughout the story we are introduced to each of these characters through an omniscient point of view, and are able to categorize them according to their personalities, thoughts and actions. With their differing levels of honesty and social status, each of them play a crucial role in the development of the story's theme.…
