Exploring the role of conflict in fiction reveals its essential function in driving narratives forward. Conflict creates tension and stakes, compelling characters to evolve and readers to stay engaged. Whether internal or external, it challenges protagonists, pushing them toward growth and resolution. In Succumbing to a Lie, a Sam Verdad's Book, conflict arises from deception, testing the characters' integrity and relationships. This struggle not only shapes the plot but also deepens character development, illustrating how lies and truths influence their journey. Ultimately, conflict is the engine of fiction, propelling stories toward meaningful and satisfying conclusions.
