A major literary conflict is the struggle between two opposing forces in a story. This conflict can be internal (within a character) or external (between characters or with society/nature). It creates tension and drives the plot forward.
The main problem in a literary work is known as the conflict. The classic story arch depends on the conflict, which characters work to solve until it comes to a head in the climax and is usually resolved at the end of the story.
The Major Conflict is the biggest conflict in the play. It is what drives the whole play. All of the decisions are about this one issue. In Tennessee William's The Glass Menagerie the major conflict is between Tom's feeling obligated to his family as a provider and his inner need to live his own life. The events of the play are cause by his struggle between these two inner conflicts.
In the account there is of course conflict going on constantly in the background, since the 'world was filled with violence' which was the reason for the sending of the flood. We are not told of any specific conflict between Noah and his fellow earth-dwellers. They possibly thought he was crazy, until it was too late. In a literary sense, the conflict is between God and the sinfulness of man.
