Answer:
The protagonist handles the conflict quite poorly in the beginning of the story because he is so hungry and lose hope, this is stated "Hunger made our envy as dull and feeble as all our other feelings. We had no strength left for feelings, to search for easier work, to walk, to ask, to beg." but then gets the urge for freedom. Because the protagonist is in the gulag and his friend has found a map to escape and chooses to go with his friend, this is stated “I’m willing,” I said, opening my eyes. “Only I’ve got to feed myself up first.”. the outcome from the conflict is them trying to escape due to the poor conditions.
Explanation:
i got full credit for this answer, don't forget to change it up a bit.
Johan August Strindberg, was a Swedish novelist, playwright, essayist and painter. Since childhood, Strindberg had a massive interest in religion, natural science, and photography. As a child, he always longed for a maternal figure due to her mother's bitterness and resentment of his intelligence. Later, after the death of her mother, his father married again with Emilia Charlotta Pettersson. This grew anger in Strindberg.
Therefore, circumstance what caused Strindberg to cut off from his family was due to his father's remarriage after his mother's death.
