Conflict occurs in variable manners, and it can be individual to individual, individual to self, or individual to surroundings among other contexts. Flannery O’Connor, William Faulkner, and Emily Dickinson present conflict in poetry and prose. They present such in “A Good Man Is Hard to find,” “Barn Burning,” and “No Rack Can Torture Me” respectively. American conflict affects the family unit and society at large.
Flannery O’Connor presents American conflict as it occurs within the family context. The presentation concerns the effects of modernization on child development. An argument that modern day families have failed to teach children good manners is presented. Conflict exists between previous parenting and what is happening in the current world. John Wesley finds his habit being disputed by his grandmother who often challenges Wesley's upbringing. Conflict occurs between Bailey's son, Joh
...n Wesley and grandmother revealing that social change has brought people to a state of lawlessness.
William Faulkner reveals conflict in through Sartoris. He presents individual to the self-conflict in that reaching a decision in favor of social policy disagrees with the similar decision that concern the family. Sartor is exposed the society's torture and fear as caused by criminals. Criminal activities caused this comfort, restlessness and introduce individual versus society conflict with characters fearing for their lives upon losing the favor of society.
On the contrary, Emily Dickinson presents conflict and violence on a different level. It would appear that she does not worry much about fatalities and finds peace in death. Her poem begins with the decree that "No rack can torture me" as the poem continues, she presents that "Captivity is consciousness". Conflict is manifested in all three contexts, an
the representation is differentiated in poetry and prose. William presents the conflict regarding social corruption, and Flannery finds that conflict has arisen because of parenting failures while Emily approaches violence and conflict boldly.
