Detailed explanation-1: -External conflicts refer to the types of conflicts within literature that occur outside of the main character. This means an opposing force causes an obstacle for a character to overcome, creating tension and motivation for the main characters.

Detailed explanation-2: -A character vs. character conflict is an external conflict (rather than an internal one), meaning that characters face resistance from a force outside themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Character vs. Character. This is where one character conflicts with another. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -External conflict is a type of conflict that places characters at odds with forces outside themselves. These external forces stand in the way of a character’s motivations and create tension as the character tries to reach their goals.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
