Question

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" Questions:

1. How would "For Whom the Bell Tolls" change if the point of view were changed? (I realize it's third person limited omniscient, I'm just not sure how it would change anything in the context of the story) 2. What is the primary conflict of "For Whom the Bell Tolls"? Is it internal or external? How does the protagonist deal with the conflict? (Answering one of these questions or even just a piece of one of them would be much appreciated. I realize that it seems like I'm asking you to do my homework, but I truly am lost with this text).

Answer 1

For some reason, this post just reminded me of an episode of a show I watch.

Also, have you read the story? (I know that's kinda an odd question, but even if you've read it, it could help to go through and scan the story again just to get an overview and refresh your memory).

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Point of View typically has three different views.

1st person: Someone is telling you their story.
2nd person: You are being told how you should do something. (rarely used)
3rd person: Basically when someone uses their written voice.

I actually meant to format it much better than I did, but submitting it completely got rid of it. Let me retype it, if I can.

Answer 11

2. The conflict is the problem in the story.

Internal Conflict: An internal conflict is a problem that is happening on the inside.
External Conflict: An external conflict is a problem that is happening on the outside.

Primary Conflict: "As Robert Jordan and a small band of guerrilla fighters prepare to blow up a bridge with their limited resources and manpower, Robert Jordan and Pablo struggle for authority over the small band of guerrillas. Meanwhile, Robert Jordan and Maria cope with the pitfalls of falling in love during wartime." ~SparkNotes


I would say that this is both an external and internal conflict. The external part comes where they are struggling over the authority over the small band of guerillas. This is out of their control. The internal part comes from where Robert Jordan and Marie are coping with the pitfalls of falling in love during wartime.


As for how the protagonist deals with the conflict, he ends up accepting himself as a man of action rather than a man of thought. He also accepts his love for Maria.
