of the events in the story Nurgiyantoro, 2002: 188. The changes are probably in the way they think, their personality , behavior, nature of
character, appearance, etc. while characterization is wider than character, because it includes the following problems who the character is, how the
description in a story so that the readers know about distinctly. Characterization refers to realization and development of a character in a story

3.2 Conflicts
Characters in a literary work also have problem just like in the real life and their problem will lead to conflict. In real world, the term of conflict often
has a negative perception thing. That is why human being always tries to avoid conflicts. In fiction, in fact, the conflict will attract the reader. When the
conflict reach the climax, the readers will be more curious. In literature, conflict is the struggle of opposing external or internal
forces. Conflict is at the heart of every story. In fact, we don’t have a story –
at least not one most of us would want to hear or read. The impediments and complications of conflict keep us reading. The more important, challenging
believable, and coherent the conflict is, the more we are engaged by the story and want to follow it to its conclusion Madden, 2002: 90.
Madden also states that the kinds of the conflict are internal and external conflict. Internal conflict is a struggle of opposing forces within a character.
The best stories contain elements of both types of conflict, but the emphasis is usually on internal conflict. Internal conflict has much to do with the makeup
of the characters in the story. Consider the personality of each character. What provokes an internal conflict in one person may go unnoticed by another.
Conflict in the zone of relations between person and environment feeds back into the mind to affect the regulatory control of internal conflict and the
choice of defense against internal conflict Ackerman, 1958: 73 The existent of conflict in literary work is caused by action. It happens in
character’s life in a story, either internal or external conflict. Conflict divided into two categories. Perrine 1984: 42, states as follow:
Conflict is a clash of actions, ideas, desir es, or wills‖. Character may
be pitted against some other person or group of persons conflict of person against person; they may be in conflict with some external
force- physical nature, society, or ―fate‖ conflict of person against
environment; or they may be in conflict with some elements in their own natures conflict of person against himself or herself. The
conflict may be physical, mental, emotional, or moral. Wellek and Warren 1989: 85, say that conflict is ―something dramatic,
referring to a fight between two powers that balance and it also referring an action and revenge of action. It happens
in a human’s outlook, not in literary works, that’s why, people prefer to live in peace and avoid the conflict.
