Complication
By Avery Goforth
Definition
Mini conflicts that contribute to the rising action.
Examples
The Most Dangerous Game- When Rainsford learns he has to survive on his own he runs into a lot of complications like Rainsford almost getting lost in quicksand, the conflict within himself oft rying to stay alive and think of all possibilities, becoming extremely tired, and falling of his yacht. Tat all led up to the climax.
The Landlady- The fact that the weird motel kind of hypmatized him and brioght him is was the main complication.
In the movie Elf- When buddy discovers he's a human, when Buddy has to travel to New York alone to try to find his dad, him realizing not everyone in the real world are nice people, and Buddy having the dwarf and a few other people not liking him would all be examples of some mini conflicts.
