Self- Writeousness | Literary Conflict: Man vs. Everything @SelfWriteousness | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hello, friends. You know the 9 forms of literary conflict? If not, cool. We'll learn them together as they appear in classic works (starting with SPACEBALLS of all things), then muse a bit about what the future of literature might hold for conflicts not generally listed among those tried and true 9 forms.
Earnest laud and honor to Grant Snider for saying in one cartoon what it took me several minutes to cover. Please, view his stuff first hand if you liked what little you saw in the video:
grantsnider.com
(also, earnest apologies to Mr. Snyder for modifying his image for portions of the discussion. The boxes with question marks in a category called "um..." seemed to me at time of recording to be the literary equivalent of the empty boxes on the periodic table of elements)
00:35 Literary Conflict explained with clips from Space Balls
02:40 Man vs. Everything as a plausible form of literary conflict
03:46 Why Man vs. Everything is not covered by existing conflict forms
04:20 Literary examples such as Don Quixote and Les Miserables
06:00 Man vs. Everything as it pertains to the setups of tragedies and character arcs
06:19 Voltaire's Candide
06:35 Batman vs. Scarecrow
Thanks for visiting the channel.
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
