Conflict (narrative)
In literature, conflict is an inherent incompatibility between the objectives of two or more characters or forces. Conflict creates tension and interest in a story by adding doubt as to the outcome. A narrative is not limited to a single conflict, While conflicts may not always resolve in narrative, the resolution of a conflict creates closure, which may or may not occur at a story's end.
