Conflict in Literature

CONFLICT IN LITERATURE CLASSICAL MODERN POSTMODERN MAN vs. NATURE MAN vs. SOCIETY MAN vs. TECHNOLOGY MAN vs. MAN MAN vs. SELF MAN vs. REALITY MAN vs. GOD MAN vs. NO GOD MAN vs. AUTHOR

A nine-panel chart parodies literary classifications of conflict, showing different men struggling with nature, society, technology, another man, themselves, reality, God, the absence of God, and finally the author. The joke escalates from familiar classical conflicts to increasingly abstract and postmodern ones, making it useful as a reaction to an overly complicated problem or philosophical situation.
