Explanation:

A conflict can be defined as a struggle which happens between two opposing forces in literature. This struggle is usually between the main character(s) of the play with some other force.

The conflict in literature can be broadly divided into two main categories, i.e., internal and external conflict. In internal conflict, the character is in conflict with himself or his inner-self. In external conflict, character is in conflict with external forces, such as nature and society.

The conflict in the given extract is man vs self.
