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

The fact that [Huck] was now under the Widow Douglas's protection introduced him into society–no, dragged him into it...and his sufferings were almost more than he could bear. The widow's servants kept him clean and neat, combed and brushed...He had to eat with knife and fork;...he had to learn his book, he had to go to church; he had to talk so properly that speech was become insipid in his mouth; whithersoever he turned, the bars and shackles of civilization shut him in and bound him hand and foot.

Answer: He's facing internal conflict, which is individual vs. self.

Step-by-step explanation:

He isn't used to living like this, so he's panicking. He's not being forced by any objects so therefore the bottom 3 are irrelevant. The first one (individual vs. individual) it could work if he was being forced but he isnt. So therefore it's himself.
