This study aims to discover the conflicts that happens in the novel faced by the main characters and how the characters resolve it. Kenneth Grahame’s novel The Wind in the Willows is used as the data of this study. The types of conflict theory proposed by Kenney (1996) is employed to analyse the data. The techniques used to collect the data were observation method and note-taking.
