One way to express the struggle in a conflict without using words is through body language and physical actions. For example, in a conflict between two people, one person may clench their fists or tense their body, while the other person may turn away or cross their arms. These nonverbal cues can convey the tension and struggle present in the conflict without any words being spoken.

Another example of expressing conflict without words is through art or creative expression. An artist may create a piece that depicts the struggle and tension of a conflict through the use of color, composition, and symbolism. This can effectively communicate the emotional weight of the conflict without the need for verbal communication.

In a specific example, imagine a scene where two characters are in a heated argument. One character may slam their hand on a table, while the other character may storm out of the room, slamming the door behind them. These actions convey the intensity and struggle of the conflict without any dialogue being exchanged.
