3.3 Analyze interactions
between characters in a
literary text by focusing
on internal and external
conflicts.
In The Dark
Knight, the Joker
initiatesan external
conflictwith Batman
is the
“outside
force”
The
Joker
that
Batma
n
has to
overcome
An external conflict is. . .
beyond the character’s control something the character encounters face to facea physical force
that keeps the
character from
achieving his or
her goals
An external conflict is NOT. . .

resolvedover a cup of
coffee
Think about the effects of an external conflict
Who do they
What kind of IMPACT do they
have on the story?
In The Dark Knight, the Joker
inflicts death, doom, and
destruction on Gotham City—
all effects of the external
conflict he creates
In the Harry
Potter series,
Lord
Voldemort
creates a
similar
external
conflict,
whose
effects
include
murder,
mayhem, and
genuine fear
External conflict is
what forces a character
to make tough
decisions
External conflict is
what forces a character
to make tough
decisions
Without external conflict, the
protagonist will always be a static
character, without an opportunity
to change, grow, or discover
something new about life
In The Dark Knight, Batman’s internal
conflict is his unwillingness to kill the Joker
Another one of
Batman’s internal
conflicts is that he
often makes choices
that are dangerous
and outside the law
In The Dark Knight, the
Joker triggers one of
Batman’s biggest internal
conflicts: his refusal to
disclose his identity as
Bruce Wayne.
When thinking about a story’s conflict, ask yourself these
questions: What’s at stake for the
protagonist?
What happens if the conflict isn’t
resolved?
In The
Wizard of
Oz, the
Wicked
Witch is
Dorothy’s
external
conflict.
Dorothy’s internal conflict is that she feels as if she doesn’t belong in the Land of Oz.
Dorothy’s internal conflict is that she feels as if she doesn’t belong in the Land of Oz.
Dorothy resolves her conflicts by
killing the witch and by learning that
there really is no place like home.
Little
Red
Riding
Hood’s
external
conflict
is the
Big Bad
Wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood’s
internal conflict is that
she has mixed feelings
about the Big Bad Wolf.
Little Red Riding
Hood resolves her
conflicts by escaping
the Big Bad Wolf and
by learning that she
shouldn’t talk to
strangers.
As you read a story. . .
decide what conflicts they face look for steps they take to resolve their conflicts identify the main characters
see if these steps cause other conflicts
Intrinsic motivation comes from within
It means doing something because it’s fun
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside
It means doing something for an outcome
In the movie
Scarface, three
things motivate
Tony Montana:
power, money, and
his desire to move
up in the world.
A sense of justice and a need to help others is what motivates most
superheroes.
