Abstract
The paper discusses the problem of literary conflict in Belarusian and Polish fiction. The author analyses selected works about the Second World War and concludes that they reveal a specific kind of conflict situations. Fiction works by W. Bykau, A. Adamowich, T. Nowak and T. Borowski highlight protagonists’ opposition not only to other characters (enemies, nazi soldiers), but also to some aspects of the protagonist’s own personality and value system.
Keywords
