Isso pode não ser exatamente o que você está procurando especificamente, já que não há "confronto" per se , mas diálogo entre duas pessoas sobre um terceiro que alguém ama.
No seu exemplo, Lord John Gray é um Confessor do Amor enquanto ele discute Jamie com Claire
A Love Confession is when a lover declares his love to his beloved. But sometimes the lover can't or won't tell the beloved. There are a few reasons this could be:
- The beloved is unavailable for hearing the Love Confession.
- The lover doesn't want his beloved to know how he feels.
- The lover and/or the beloved are uncomfortable discussing their emotions—especially with each other!There is, however, another option: The lover confesses his love to a third party. Instead of "I love you," the confession becomes "I love them."
Dramatically, this serves a few different purposes. It lets the audience know what the lover's feelings are, and/or confirms that the lover is aware of their own feelings. It creates new dramatic potential, since the lover and the third party now share a secret that the beloved is not in on. Most importantly, it buys time for writers who want to delay the Love Confession till later.
O romance entre Claire e Jamie já está estabelecido, então o lado dela da discussão é de uma natureza diferente, mas eu acho que isso adiciona outra dimensão ao Bizarre Triângulo Amoroso que eles compartilham
