Conflict

In this story, The Time Traveler’s Wife, the main conflict in the novel would be that Henry time travels and can leave the present and come back at any given time. Henry has been living with the struggle of trying to stay in the present his whole life and it is still not solved at this point in the novel. Time Travel affects the plot greatly because it is setting the main character, Henry, in a different time period throughout each chapter of the book creating a very dynamic, unique story line. With Henry as a time traveler, it impacts Clare’s life very much as well. She has grown up knowing this and had to live with this secret ever since she was a young girl.  If this conflict was not a main part of the book, this novel would no be what it is and the story line would be completely different.
