Question 1
(a) Explanation of the term ‘conflict’ in a modern novel or
drama (10 marks)
In literature, conflict refers to the struggle between opposing
forces that drives the narrative and gives depth to the
characters. It can be internal (man vs. self) or external (man vs.
man, man vs. society, man vs. nature, etc.). For example, in
modern novels or dramas such as "To Kill a Mockingbird" by

between individual integrity and communal hysteria. This
struggle not only advances the plot but also explores complex
themes such as morality, human nature, and social dynamics.

restates the thesis in a rephrased manner. It should not
introduce new information but rather reflect on what has
