ABSTRACT
This paper is entitled “The Description of Conflicts Found in William P. Young’s Novel The
Shack. The problem and purpose of the study is to find out the conflicts of the main
character’s conflicts that are portrayed in the novel. The method that the writer used in this
paper is library research to find certain data by searching and collecting some books which is
related to the analysis of conflict in literary work. In the case of the main character, there are
two characters that considered as the main characters because they dominated the whole
story. They are Mackenzie Allen Philips and Papa (Elousia). In this paper, the writer uses the
theory of conflict by Tennyson (1967). He divided conflict into two part, namely internal
conflict and external conflict. The description of this paper would like to describe the
portrayal of Mackenzie’s and Papa’s internal conflict and also their external conflict. Mack’s
and Papa’s character have a huge influence in the whole part of the plot. They have their own
conflict within themselves which is considered as internal conflict. And conflict with society
or other characters or even sometimes both of them has disagreement with each other named
as the external conflict.
Key words : Character, Internal Conflict, External Conflict
