One of the main methods that an author uses to express a specific message in a work of fiction is through the use of conflict. A character
usually learns an important lesson by going through an experience of
conflict, and this conflict can reveal to an important message about life
(theme). In an insightful, well-written analytical essay, explore the
author's use of internal and external conflict to convey a universal
theme in one of the unit's texts (Julius Caesar or Damon and Pythias).
