The Theme of Conflict in Arthur Miller's Select Plays

By Prof Appasaheb Hari Pharne

I. CONFLICT DEFINED The theme of a literary work may be defined as the generalization about life based on the results of the conflict in the work. The Tragedy is the most serious form of literature. So 'conflict' is one of the most essential aspects of the work of literature in general and the tragedy in particular. In Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English 'conflict' is defined as the 'opposition or difference of opinions, desires, etc.' Conflict can be internal or external. This is to say that conflict can be inside the mind of the character concerned, for example, the one between 'duty' and 'desire' in the mind of the character. Similarly there can be difference in the opinions of two different characters.
