Conflict drives the plot, or sequence of events, and develops character because the way characters contribute or respond to the conflict develops their personality. ... The conflict in 'To Build a Fire' is man versus nature, because the protagonist has to battle the harsh conditions of the Yukon in a fight for survival.
