What was the conflict of The Neverending Story?

Answer 1

At the beginning of the story, the conflict was between Atreyu, who was trying to find a cure for the Childlike Emmpress, and the creatures of Fantastica, which means that it is Man vs. Nature.

Toward the middle of the story, Bastian is confronted by Atreyu, who wants to take the magical amulet AURYN from him for his own good, and later Atreyu rallies an army to storm the Ivory Tower. This is considered Man vs. Man.

Near the end of the story, Bastian must find a way back to his home in the real world, and by doing so he must search Fantastica for answers, so this conflict is considered Man vs. Nature.
