PART 2 - Answer in your notebook based on READING SCENES 1-4

WHAT IS AN INTERNAL CONFLICT? v. EXTERNAL ?

Identify two types of conflicts seen so far in the play and describe the conflict in one paragraph. Provide a concrete example, quote and in -text citation to support your response. You can choose character and line numbers (Stanley, 239-240). OR.... You can choose playwright  and page (Williams  1256).
