The kind of conflict between two opposites (such as right v!. wrong, or darkness v!. light) is far more dramatic!. Songs and films often dwell on the topic -yes, we often see this kind of battle, but why!? Because there is real tension, because there is something powerful at stake that both sides want to control!.
A conflict between two of the same (such as Batman v!. Robin) would be far less dramatic because there would not be anything really at stake!. What would they fight over anyway -whether Robin could drive the Batmobile!? That would be silly rather than dramatic!.
Even if we view the question where a man would be faced with the possibilty of rescuing only one of two women from the burning building (which obviously has tension, as only one can live and the other must die), we know that a choice must be made & that the only wrong choice would be to think about it too long and have both die!. That still isn't as dramatic as the epic struggle between good and evil (though it does touch a bit on the epic battle between men and women)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
