cicero
good even, casca. brought you caesar home?
why are you breathless, and why stare you so?
casca
are not you moved, when all the sway of earth
order
shakes like a thing unfirm? o cicero,
i have seen tempests when the scolding winds
have rived the knotty oaks, and i have seen
split
thambitious ocean swell, and rage, and foam,
to be exalted with the threatning clouds:
raised as high as
but never till tonight, never till now,
did i go through a tempest dropping fire.
either there is a civil strife in heaven,
between the gods
or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
incenses them to send destruction.
○ character vs. self.
○ character vs. character
○ character vs. society
○ character vs. nature

Explanation:

To determine the conflict type, analyze Casca's lines. He describes natural phenomena (tempest, earth shaking, fire - dropping tempest) and suggests the world's actions against gods or divine strife, but the focus is on the natural - like chaos (tempests, earth's sway) he's experiencing. "Character vs. nature" involves a character facing natural forces/disasters. The other options: "character vs. self" is internal conflict (not here), "character vs. character" is between people (no interpersonal conflict), "character vs. society" is against social norms (not shown). So the conflict is character vs. nature.

Answer:

character vs. nature
