Unresolved conflicts drive the narratives of ancient literature, often serving as central themes that propel characters forward. These conflicts can manifest as inner struggles, such as in the works of Shakespeare or Homer, where characters grapple with fate, identity, or societal expectations. Additionally, external conflicts between gods and mortals or between rival factions reflect deeper cultural issues. The resolution of these conflicts, or lack thereof, ultimately shapes the moral framework of the narrative, allowing audiences to engage with the underlying dilemmas while contemplating their relevance to the human condition.
