Abstract:

The literary artist develops his theme with the help of conflict —external or internal or both. Most of the psychologist’s study conflict in correlation to frustration, stresses, and strains. Unfortunately, conflict is studied by them as a part of abnormal psychology. S.K. Mangal remarks: The term conflict is variously used. There may be conflicts between the ideologies of two sects, religions, and organizations. Conflicts may arise between husband and wife, father and his son, and teacher and the taught. They may also show their presence among brothers and sisters, members of an organization or community, states of a country and countries of the world a large. Apart from these external of outer conflicts there are inner or internal conflicts within the man which are more dangerous to his well-being. These conflicts are called psychological conflicts.
