All stories have conflict, a good side fighting the evil side, order versus chaos, in a seemingly endless cycle. In a book called Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a group of kids are stranded on an isolated island, which brings out their true selves, some being chaotic and savage, others being logical and orderly.

The perpetual imbalance between these two sides is what makes up conflict within storytelling, no stories would be interesting if there wasn’t any conflict, or if there was a perfect balance between both sides, so that none ever get
