Read the excerpt from "Gawayne." Now the giant cried aloud: "Yield or fight, King Arthur; which will you do? If you fight I shall conquer you, for you have no power to resist me; you will be my prisoner, with no hope of ransom, will lose your land and spend your life in my dungeon with many other brave knights. If you yield I will hold you to ransom, but you must swear to accept the terms I shall offer." What kind of conflict do the details in this excerpt reveal? character vs. self character vs. society character vs. nature character vs. character

Answer:

Character vs. Character.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a literary work of art, the conflict is when there are two or more opposing forces that will eventually lead to the rising action and thus lead to another major conflict between the characters or themes/ ideas. This conflict in any plot gives a sense of suspense and holds the readers' interest, making them more absorbed into the story.

In the given excerpt, the conflict is that of a character against another character. This is seen when the giant taunts King Arthur to fight him, revealing his conditions too. If he wins, King Arthur will be put in captive along with "other brave knights" in a dungeon and if he yields, he will still be held in ransom. The giant also feels confident of his victory over the King, laying out his conditions even before the King can reply. This conflict is that of the giant's character against that of the king's.
