Answer:

A. Selfishness and greed

Explanation:

With these words, said by one of the characters of the novel, Nick, who was referring to Tom and Daisy, Fitzgerald is criticizing the ruthless, selfish and greedy nature of these two characters: they do as they please, have no consideration for others, do harm on purpose, and simply walk away from the mess they make and go back to their materialistic way of living. Their behavior, indeed, was intended to reflect the American way of living during the 1920s which was characterized for little regard for morals.

Answer:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald in which the main character, Gatsby, develops the theme of man vs. self. This type of conflict takes place inside the character, so to speak, concerning his struggles with his feelings, decisions, and doubts. With Gatsby, the struggle lies in what he truly is and what he wishes to be. Gatsby lies to the world about his money and his business, but he cannot lie to himself. Thus, he is constantly wearing a metaphorical mask, constantly struggling with his own self-worth. In his desperation to be accepted, the mask falls. When accused by another character of being a criminal, Gatsby can no longer contain himself. If he did not care, perhaps the consequences wouldn't be so terrible. But he cares, a lot. Inside, Gatsby is still insecure - and that is what costs him everything he ever dreamed.

Explanation:

Take the answer above as an example. If you do not wish to write about "The Great Gatsby," feel free to choose a different character and literary work and use the answer as a template.

Conflicts, in literature, are the struggle between two opposing forces. There are external conflicts, such as character vs. character, or character vs. nature. There are also internal conflicts, such as character vs. self, which is the one we must develop in this answer.
