As an element in fiction, conflict is inextricably linked to plot and character. Conflict, the tensions in and between characters, propels the actions of the characters, turning individual actions into a plot. Characters respond to conflicts, often forcing other characters to act; then they react to those other characters' actions. Conflict, then, becomes the force that creates the tennis match sensation in many stories. It is that tension that makes us sit on the edge of our chair and ask what next?
