Answer:

character versus character

Step-by-step explanation:

In O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” Della sells her hair to buy her loving husband a beautiful watch chain. At the same time, Jim cannot use Della's present because he has sold his watch to buy her hair combs - which she cannot use either. Therefore, she makes a sacrifice for her husband by selling her hair and not buying the hair combs she wants for herself in the first place.
