| Publisher Description: Winner of the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism Playwright and critic Albert Bermel examines thirteen modern plays to assess the underpinnings of dramatic conflict. Contradictory Characters inspects the three well-known types of dramatic conflict-between characters, between character and environment, and within the protagonist himself-and argues that the character-against-himself is not only a type of conflict, but is indeed the prototypical conflict underlying the others. |
