“Shooting an Elephant” is filled with conflict displayed from beginning to end; conflict is a vital tool for literature, which helps construct the stories plot. Conflict draws the reader in to hear more and to keep reading. The sub-divisional police officers inner struggles, “The only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me,” are the first signs of conflict arising (Orwell 619). It is clear, from this quote, the sub-divisional police officer has never felt important enough to feel hated by anyone, until now (Orwell 619). Conflict is important because readers or listeners are prone to pay more attention to a story with conflict.
