Question

Hurry!!!

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I never saw a circle of such hateful faces; and there was the man in the middle, with a kind of black sneering coolness—frightened too, I could see that—but carrying it off, sir, really like Satan. ‘If you choose to make capital out of this accident,’ said he, ‘I am naturally helpless. No gentleman but wishes to avoid a scene,’ says he. ‘Name your figure.’ Well, we screwed him up to a hundred pounds for the child’s family; he would have clearly liked to stick out; but there was something about the lot of us that meant mischief, and at last he struck. What type of conflict does the excerpt illustrate? character vs. self character vs. character character vs. society character vs. nature

Answer 1

Answer:

Character vs. character

Explanation:

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The story follows Gabriel John Utterson, a lawyer from London who investigates the case of his lifelong friend Dr. Henry Jekyll. Jekyll has developed an evil alter ego named Edward Hyde. At first, he is able to control him(self), but in the end, Hyde completely takes over.

In literature, the term conflict refers to a struggle a character is going through. There are two main types of conflict:

• Internal conflict - the character is going through some kind of dilemma and is struggling within himself/herself.
• External conflict - the character is struggling with some outside force, e.g. another character, society, or nature.

The given excerpt is an example of external conflict. We can see that the narrator is in conflict with another character. This character is not named in this passage and is simply referred to as he. This is why this is an example of a character vs. character type of conflict.
