Conflict emerges from the dichotomy of change, and resistance to change.What is most important about a character is to know what their objectives are, and what they will do to fulfill those objectives. From there, we ask why they are pursuing their objectives, what it means to them. How the character pursues his/her objectives and deals with challenges against that pursuit is what will truly give shape to that character.When obstacles are placed to prevent or hinder the character from achieving the objectives, that's when the story gets interesting - the conflict begins.</blockquote>
