If you've read this story, "The Lady or the Tiger?," and
understand what each of these types of conflict is, this is not a difficult question.
Think about each character and ask yourself if he/she has any inner conflict or if
something is in conflict with him/her. For example, the King appears to have no
conflict of any kind. He says it, it happens. He has no hesitation in sentencing his
daughter's lover to a possible death, an act he justifies by explaining it away as fate
or chance. His daughter, however, experiences all kinds of conflict. She has disobeyed
the laws of the land, apparently, by loving this young man. That's an external
conflict. She has to really work to find the secret of the doors--another external
conflict. For the Princess, though, the conflict is primarily internal: should she let
the man she loves marry a woman she hates, or should she let him die so no one else can
have him. That is her dilemma, which I'm confident you can explore on your own. As for
the courtier, he has clearly broken a law (or at least offended the King), which is an
external conflict. He doesn't appear to have much conflict when it comes to choosing a
door, however--something else you can explore as a potential internal conflict. Any
conflict with the tiger is obvious, so I'll let you do that one on your own. This
should be enough to get you started.
