The type of conflict which is implied in the above passage is Person vs. Self.

In the short story “The Gift of Magi,” the American writer O. Henry speaks about the feeling of love and the emotions related to it. The couple Della and Jim are so much in love with each other that they would sacrifice anything for their partner to be happy. Since they are poor, they both fall short in arranging money for the Christmas gift. Della wanted to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, but her savings were not enough for the gift. Della decided to sell off her long hair and buy a platinum chain for Jim's watch while Jim sold off her watch to buy a beautiful comb for Della's beautiful hair. The last scene of the story reflects on their love for each other which is beyond the materialistic nature of the world. Their sacrifice for each other made them the wisest people like Magi.

Guy Montag "wears his happiness like a mask" this is simile means that
anygoal [31]

Answer:

I would think that this means that he can use his happiness to hide his true face and emotions. He can put the mask on and appear happy to others, when really he is not. This acts like a mask because a mask makes your face look like something it isn't. Like on Halloween when you dress up, wearing a mask makes you look like what you desire to look like, not what you really are.
