Tip #254: Conflicting needs

Try giving your protagonist...
two friction-causing, conflict-creating, mutually exclusive needs.

Given example:

in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, Jane’s primary need is to marry and live with her soul mate, Rochester.
... Jane’s need to remain true to her moral duty, as well as her need to grow into the strength to truly stand as Rochester’s equal, impedes her from remaining with Rochester after she learns of his insane wife.
