Literary conflicts are often taught during ELA units. Building on prior knowledge to achieve mastery level with our students is important. An excellent way to focus on the various types of literary conflict is through storyboarding. Having students choose an example of each literary conflict and depict it using the storyboard creator is a great way to reinforce your lesson! In “The Interlopers”, both internal and external conflicts can be found.
Ulrich’s must overcome his own pride and stubbornness to offer Georg some wine.
Georg and Ulrich must ignore the 'interlopers', outsiders who would try to interfere with their reconciling.
Ulrich and Georg start by being bitter enemies, set on killing each other over land.
The two men are trapped under a birch tree, which thwarts both of their efforts to kill the other.
