: Re: What is the Purpose of an Inner Conflict? I've long known what the purpose of inner conflict is. Indeed, it was one of the simplest concepts for me to grasp when I was learning about it.

Since you say you know what an inner conflict is, I'll try and avoid explaining it.

Instead, I should point out that the definition of 'inner conflict' is why it is used in a novel.

Having your character disagree with himself excites the reader. The reader wonders what the character is going to choose, and the consequences of that choice. Let's say the character has someone he doesn't want to lose, but that person could potentially ruin the goal he has been trying to achieve throughout the novel. What does he do? He is now in conflict with himself, and the reader is given the opportunity to guess what is going to happen. This has the reader wanting more.

Inner conflict is seen so often, in almost every novel, because of the reason I've just explained.

Hoping this answers your question.
