Answer:

The main conflict in Lord of the Flies is man vs man.

Step-by-step explanation:

More specifically, Ralph vs Jack. Beginning with the introduction of both boys, the author conveys a clash between the two. Jack is extremely hot-headed, conceited, and believes he deserves things he really does not. He is careless, craves power and dominance. Ralph, however, is calmer and has a natural leader in him. He wants to make responsible choices for the well-being of himself and everyone else on the island. This is what causes Ralph to be voted for chief instead of Jack. The lack of agreement on the importance of the fire highlights this conflict.

The MAIN one is Civility vs. Savagery: The main conflict throughout the novel is between civility and savagery. The boys struggle to contain their inherent primitive nature on the uninhabited island while attempting to create a civil society.
