Detailed explanation-1: -In a person-versus-self conflict, a character might be conflicted with their own feelings or have two opposing goals. An author can show this as a struggle between right and wrong or a struggle between opposing wants, needs or expectations. For example, a character might have to choose between two love interests.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a Person vs Self conflict, the main character has a problem within him/herself. This type of struggle takes place in the character’s mind. The character has to make a choice between doing something that is right or wrong. The character may also have to overcome emotions.

Detailed explanation-3: -This type of conflict occurs because a protagonist and antagonist have the same goal, have conflicting goals where they stand in each other’s way, or one wants what the other has. Harry Potter’s conflict with Voldemort throughout J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series is an example of Character vs. Character conflict.

Detailed explanation-4: -So a conflict is a force actively opposing the main character, whereas an obstacle is simply in the way. If you’re writing a long story such as a novel, you’ll probably need both. The purpose of obstacles and conflict is to challenge your protagonist and other characters and drive your story forward.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conflict in self-image happens when a person’s actions do not align with how they view themselves. For example, a mother may feel guilty if she thinks she’s patient, but loses her temper with her children.
