This module serves as a comprehensive guide for transition year students to delve into the intricacies of conflict within modern plays. It focuses on understanding, analyzing, and creating various types of conflict, which are essential elements that drive compelling narratives in theater. The course outlines four primary types of conflict: Inner Conflict, which addresses a character's internal struggles; Family Conflict, portraying tension within familial relationships; Social Conflict, highlighting an individual's struggle against societal norms; and Peer Conflict, depicting rivalries and challenges between friends or colleagues. Through discussions, activities, and creative exercises, students will explore how these conflicts are expressed and escalated in dramatic works, using examples from influential playwrights like Arthur Miller.
