Conflict, in a work of literature, is the struggle between opposing forces, a protagonist’s struggle against society, authority, or power; or a protagonist’s inner turmoil.
Consider how conflict works in “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Gilman and explain, from a psychological and/or sociological perspective, what the story’s conflict tells us about society and/or the individual. How does the conflict contribute to the meaning of the story, and what does it suggest about life in the real world?
