In "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," Walter uses fantasies to escape the constant scolding of his wife. What type of conflict is this?
a. character vs. nature
b. character vs. society**
c. character vs. character
d. character vs. himself
Wait, I think 2 is a?
Forget the last part about c or d. 2 is a.
2 is a. It could also be c or d.
Well, it sounds like Walter Mitty's main conflict is definitely not character vs. nature. It's not like Mother Nature is scolding him or anything (although, who knows, maybe she's secretly judging him for not appreciating her beauty). And it's not character vs. character either, because his wife isn't exactly fighting him physically. So, we're left with character vs. society and character vs. himself. But let's be real, his wife scolding him and him escaping into fantasies to avoid it seems like a classic case of character vs. society. Walter Mitty is just trying to find his own way of dealing with the pressures and expectations placed on him.
To determine the type of conflict in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" where Walter uses fantasies to escape the constant scolding of his wife, we need to understand the different types of conflicts commonly found in literature.
a. Character vs. nature: This conflict involves a character facing external forces of nature, such as a storm, earthquake, or wild animals. It does not apply to Walter's situation as he is not pitted against natural forces.
b. Character vs. society: This conflict occurs when a character struggles against societal norms, expectations, or rules. In Walter's case, his wife's scolding can be seen as a societal conflict because her behavior reflects the societal expectations of how a husband should behave.
c. Character vs. character: This conflict arises when a character is in conflict with another character, such as a protagonist having a quarrel or disagreement with another person. While Walter experiences conflict with his wife, it is more accurate to classify it as a character vs. society conflict rather than solely a character vs. character conflict.
d. Character vs. himself: This conflict depicts a character's internal struggle, often involving a decision or a moral dilemma. In the story, while Walter might have some internal insecurities and regrets, his primary conflict lies in his desire to escape the scolding of his wife, making it a character vs. society conflict rather than a character vs. himself conflict.
Hence, the most suitable answer is b. character vs. society.
2. A narrator who is also a character in the story is?
a. first person
b. second person**
c. third person limited
d. third person omniscient
