Conflict

In the movie, Henry is seen time traveling. 

          In The Time Traveler’s Wife the conflict that seems to emerge in the plot a lot is time travel which Henry has to live with. The time travel has a huge affect on the plot because it continuously changes where and when the story will take place. It changes time, characters and setting, with flipping back and forth through the present and the past. The main problem of the novel would be that Henry is not able to control his time travel the way he would like. It makes it hard to live to his fullest and be able to keep a relationship with Clare, and any other person like family, or friends. With the time travel it makes Henry lost and confused and sometimes feeling helpless. He begins to try to take control of his travel by trying different drugs but Clare becomes worried when he ends up in the hospital almost dead once from trying to keep his time travel controlled. It is becoming harder for him to always leave Clare and is making his life a lot harder then what he wants it to be. He sees it as a disease and a illness.
