    The method in which Saki writes “Interlopers” setting contributes to the conflict between the main characters. Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, the main characters in the story, are part of a family feud that has gone on for years, because of “the forest lands of Gradwitz [having a] wide extent and [being] well stocked with game [animals].” (page 1). Although the land does not have the same effect as the storm winds, its effects are still large. The land description adds onto why the conflict starts exactly and pushes the conflict between the two further.…

    Roedel shows mercy by only killing men for good reason. He demonstrates this mercy when he “gave no warning but the cocking of [his] Navy Colt and booked the boy passage with his father” because “Pups make hounds…And there are hounds enough” (8). Roedel kills a boy to spare him from further torment and fighting. He performs this act out of mercy and necessity. At one point, the Bushwhackers torment a captive Federal soldier by reading him letters from his wife, and Roedel shoots him “where he lay and put a period to the letter” (62). Roedel recognizes the cruelty and ends the man’s misery quickly. He shows his ethics by ending pointless torment. These acts of mercy contrast the cruel and meaningless slaughter other soldiers perform. During the raid on Lawrence, Bushwhackers murder countless citizens despite that fact that “there was no army in sight” and that “the citizens never even fired a shot to defend themselves” (174). This slaughter has no justice or reason behind it. The soldiers perform it out of rage, in dark contrast to Roedel’s mercy. This slaughter shows how the war and fighting degrades the soldier’s…

    Every person feels rivalry or competition towards others at some point in their lives. This rivalry greatly affects our ability to understand others, and this eventually results in paranoia and hostility. It is a part of human nature, that people coldly drive ahead for their gain alone. Man's inhumanity towards man is a way for people to protect themselves from having pain inflicted on them by others, and achieving their goals and desires without the interference of others. This concept of man's inhumanity to man is developed in A Separate Peace as the primary conflict in the novel centres on the main character, Gene, and his inner-battles with feelings of jealousy, paranoia, and inability to understand his relationship with his best friend Phineas. Competition is further demonstrated by the occurrence of World War II. It is shown that, "There were few relationships among us (the students) at Devon not based on rivalry." (p. 37) It is this rivalry and competition between the boys at Devon that ripped their friendships apart.…

    In literature, there are four types of major conflicts, and in many cases these conflicts are beyond the characters control. These four types of conflicts are man versus another man, for example in The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, a major man versus man conflict are the rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. Another conflict is man versus nature, where a person is in trouble with a force of nature, like a tornado, or in this case a fire. Man versus society is where a character has conflicts with society’s views on “outsiders” and people who do not fit in. An man versus self, is where a character struggles against him or herself, with unwanted feelings. The main types of conflict that can be found in this book are, man versus man, man versus…

    After ending Gérard Duval's life in the trench, Paul feels guilty of taking another man's life. He struggles to cope with his moral injury as he feels he did not need to kill the man. Paul believes that Gerard Duval poses no threat to him as Gerald is already helpless and dying. Paul states that he “would give much if he would stay alive”, and “each word [he] translate pierces [him] like a shot in the chest” (Remarque 221 and 225). Paul wishes that he could have taken back what he had done and allow the man to die on his own. Paul faces the reality of war, as his own hands become a weapon. Similarly, the speaker in “The Man He Killed” struggles with internal conflict after killing an enemy in combat. The speaker tries to reason with himself in hopes of justifying his actions. He momentarily forgets why he shot the man, but then states “I shot him dead because- / because he was my foe” (Hardy 9-10). The speaker pauses based on the repetition of “because” to indicate his confusion as to why he shot the man in the first place. The speaker continues on, not putting much thought towards the topic. Both Paul and the speaker battle a similar internal conflict, a conflict that every soldier has to deal…

    The innate violence of humankind is illustrated when Robert Ross kills the German soldier. After the gas attack, while Robert and his fellow soldiers are climbing out of the crater, Robert becomes aware of a German soldier who is apparently letting them escape the crater unharmed; when Robert is almost over the edge, “What happened next was all so jumbled and fast that Robert was never to sort it out. He fell. He turned. He saw the German reaching over the lip of the crater. Something exploded. The German gave a startled cry and was suddenly dead, with his arms dangling down” (Findley 145). Robert senses a sudden motion while getting out of the crater, and he instantly assumes that it is the movement of the German soldier reaching for a gun to kill them because Robert is extremely suspicious about the soldier’s behaviour. Even though the German soldier’s intention is not to kill them, but to let them go, Robert’s intrinsic human nature of savagery and mistrust causes Robert to shoot the German soldier for his own safety. He is horrified when he acknowledges the fact that the soldier has “only been reaching for his binoculars” (146). Since they are currently in a war, and Robert has just escaped from a dangerous condition,…

    War is hell. Nations have gone to war over land, resources and nationalistic pride. Many writers have depicted war as an absurd tragedy. Both “The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy and “Old Mother Savage” by Guy de Maupassant explore the theme that war is absurd because it makes enemies of those who would otherwise be friends.…
