External Conflict External conflict deals with a problem someone is experiencing with a force or forces in the outside world. There are several subcategories of external conflict. Among these are: Person vs. Person: A person conflicting with another person (Example: Susan and Roat in Wait Until Dark) Person vs. Nature: A person battling against a great force of nature (Example: Tornado) Person vs. Society: A person’s beliefs or actions go against the majority (Example: Rosa Parks refusing to move on the bus) Person vs. Supernatural: A person dealing with a being not from this world, often with powers that defy the laws of nature (Example: The story of Dracula)
