Conflicts

The main conflict of the story was the external conflict of Hannah Baker vs. the thirteen reasons/people why she killed herself. Hannah either had verbal conflicts or emotional conflicts with almost everyone on the tapes. In addition to the external conflict Hannah developed in the book, she also had an internal conflict with herself and her feelings. She fights with herself inside, knowing she shouldn't do stuff or hang out with people, but does them anyway, hoping for the best and improbable outcome of events and friendships.   Half of the time in the novel, she feels depressed but then presses to do things that will depress her more to see how far she can go before killing herself.
