"Conflict in literature is the central struggle between characters or competing forces, such as man
against nature, society, or himself. The conflict is introduced in the exposition, or the beginning
of the story, and sets the stage for future events. Some stories contain more than one conflict,
but there's usually an underlying primary struggle that the protagonist or protagonists must
address" (Tucker, 2023}.
In relation to the above quotation, discuss conflict and its role in driving the plot in children's
literature. Use relevant examples from the fairytales you have studied in this course.
