Answer and Explanation:

In literature, conflict can be defined as the struggle between two opposing forces. There are several types of conflict, some internal - the character has his own dilemmas -, some external - character versus nature, society, another character, etc.

When it comes to the story, conflicts are what will make it unfold and develop. They will create and increase tension, they will be the source of the meaningful events. As for the character, conflicts are what will make him grow. Readers watch as the character struggles to go from one point to the next in the story, solving the conflicts that arise, which makes him stronger, smarter, better - or not, since not all characters are necessarily successful. Whatever the case, the conflicts will give the character a chance to develop his strengths and overcome his weaknesses.
