In Ambrose Flack's short story "The Strangers That Came to Town," the plot revolves around the Duvitch family, who are immigrants trying to assimilate into a new community that is initially unwelcoming. The main conflict arises from the clash between the Duvitch family, led by the protagonist Mr. Duvitch, and the prejudiced townspeople, with Tom Corey being the primary antagonist. Mr. Duvitch's perspective on the conflict is that his family deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background or financial status. In a conversation with his son, he says, "We must be patient, my boy, and show them we are good people." On the other hand, Tom Corey, representing the antagonist's perspective, sees the Duvitches as a threat to the community's established order and is unwilling to accept them. He scoffs, "These foreigners have no business coming to our town." Ultimately, the story reveals that both the protagonist and antagonist must confront their own biases and prejudices, as they each learn valuable lessons about empathy, acceptance, and the human experience.
