How are conflicts in realistic fiction resolved?

When it comes to character vs. nature conflicts, the characters can use their skills and resources to adapt to nature or overcome its challenges. For character vs. fate, the character can take control of their own destiny by making different choices. In economic struggles, finding new sources of income or learning financial management can resolve the conflict.

Often, conflicts are resolved through characters' growth and learning. They might change their perspectives or develop new skills that allow them to overcome the problems.

Open communication is key. Partners should talk about their feelings and concerns honestly. For example, if there is jealousy, they can share why they feel that way. Compromise also helps. If it's about career differences, they can find a middle ground like living in a place that suits both their career needs to some extent. Trust is another important factor. Building trust can help resolve conflicts caused by miscommunication or external influences.

Conflict can also be resolved by external forces. In a story set during a war, two enemy soldiers might be forced to stop fighting each other due to a sudden cease - fire order from their commanders. This external intervention ends their immediate conflict.

Often, conflicts in stories can be resolved by the introduction of a mediator. This could be a wise old character or an outside force that helps the warring parties see sense. In some cases, the conflict resolves itself as the characters grow and develop. As they change, their previous issues may no longer be relevant. And of course, there's the option of a deus ex machina, although this is a less satisfying way. It's when some unexpected event or character swoops in and fixes everything out of the blue.

Forgiveness can resolve conflicts in a love story. If there have been mistakes or betrayals, being able to forgive and move forward is important. Also, self - reflection helps. Each partner should think about their own actions and how they contribute to the conflict. In a story where there are cultural differences, learning about each other's cultures and finding common ground can also resolve the conflict. For example, celebrating both cultures' holidays together.

Often, conflicts in fantasy stories are resolved through the hero's journey. The protagonist overcomes challenges, gains new powers or knowledge, and uses them to defeat the source of the conflict, like Frodo destroying the One Ring in 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Regarding Katniss's internal conflict, she manages to hold on to her humanity throughout the Games. She uses her wits and skills not just to kill but also to outsmart the Capitol's cruel system. Her relationship conflicts are more complex. In the end, she makes choices based on who she has become through her experiences, choosing Peeta who has been through the same traumas as her in the Games.

Often, children conflicts in stories are resolved through communication. They might talk about their feelings and misunderstandings. For example, in some stories, two children who were fighting over a toy finally sit down and share why they both wanted it. Then they come up with a solution like taking turns.

Through communication. The characters need to sit down and talk honestly about their feelings, problems, and expectations. Just like in real life, when lovers communicate openly, they can often clear up misunderstandings. For example, if there was miscommunication due to one not expressing their love properly, a simple conversation can fix it.
