Answer:

A moral dilemma reveal the following about a character:

It reveals the character's state of making a choice in a difficult situation between right and wrong actions. In other words, the character is torn between right and wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

In moral dilemma, the character is in a situation where he/she has to consider two or more moral values or choices but has the opportunity to go with just one. The individual at this time will have to violate one important moral in order to fulfill the other.

An example of moral dilemma is when a character has two children trapped and he has an option of saving just one or else the two wouldn't make it. What should he do? He is left in a dilemma.
