William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”

  Conflict is the behavior where individuals differ in actions, thoughts, and feelings. It is a big part of us. It is a thorn in the flesh, and overcoming it takes a lot of strength. In fiction most literary works have both internal conflict (individual self) and external conflict (individual v individual, society, or nature). Additionally, one can often find that a character’s internal conflict is linked to an external one. Choose two of the readings we discussed in which both an external and internal conflict are evident to you and write a five page essay on this. Literary works ( choose two).
