Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! Which type of conflict is evident in the following passage from Tom Sawyer?

At last the sleepy atmosphere was stirred—and vigorously: the murder trial came on in the court. It became the absorbing topic of village talk immediately. Tom could not get away from it. Every reference to the murder sent a shudder to his heart, for his troubled conscience and fears almost persuaded him that these remarks were put forth in his hearing as “feelers;” he did not see how he could be suspected of knowing anything about the murder, but still he could not be comfortable in the midst of this gossip. It kept him in a cold shiver all the time.

individual vs. society


individual vs. individual


individual vs. supernatural


individual vs. self (internal conflict)


individual vs. nature

Answer 1

individual vs. self (internal conflict)

Step-by-step explanation:

"Character versus self-conflict is a type of conflict that takes place inside a character’s mind. Man vs. self literary conflict usually involves the main character’s inner struggle with self-doubts, a moral dilemma, or their own nature." - Masterclass
