The characters in the novel were developed through the contradictions and conflicts between the characters. This is because the author needs to portray the characters to show their personality characteristics, inner conflicts and life experiences so that the readers can better understand and know the characters in the novel. The contradictions and conflicts between the characters are one of the important means to shape the character image. Through the contradictions and conflicts between the characters, the author can dig deeper into the inner feelings and personality characteristics of the characters. At the same time, the contradictions and conflicts between the characters can also promote the development of the story to shape a more vivid and profound character image. Of course, apart from the conflicting characters in novels, there were also other ways to shape the characters, such as appearance, language, behavior, and so on. However, conflict was one of the most effective and intuitive means to create a character's image.
