Answer:

The major external conflict in the story is the ongoing struggle between the Musketeers and Cardinal Richelieu's guards. This external conflict is related to D'Artagnan's own inner conflict. He's young, impetuous, and filled with pride. Shortly after he arrives in Paris his pride gets the better of him as he challenges, in turn, each of the Three Musketeers to a duel. Thankfully, for D'Artagnan, the arrival of the cardinal's guards gives him a chance to channel his pride in a more positive direction, joining with the Musketeers to fight against them. To some extent, D'Artagnan's inner conflict between his youth and his desire to become a man of honor is resolved.

Another conflict is still troubling D'Artagnan, though. He's just a humble country boy from a poor background and so naturally feels a sense of social inferiority to the aristocrats whose world he now inhabits. D'Artagnan is naturally brave, if still occasionally foolhardy, but there's a sense that he's constantly trying to prove himself—to show the world that, whatever his background, he has nobility of spirit.

In all his actions, he is playing the role of aristocrat. Whether it's saving Constance from being kidnapped, or retrieving the Queen's jewels to save her from public disgrace, or even just engaging in a brief skirmish with the cardinal's men, D'Artagnan is actively playing up to the role of noble blade. And it's not until the end of the swashbuckling tale, when D'Artagnan is finally commissioned as a lieutenant in the Musketeers, that the conflict between the naive country boy and his aristocratic self-image is fully resolved.

Why are there blank pages in Sirian's book he gave to the humans in Micromegas
Katena32 [7]

Micromegas promised to give them a rare book of philosophy, written in minute characters, for their special use, telling all that can be known of the ultimate essence of things, and he actually gave them the volume before his departure. It was carried to Paris and laid before the Academy of Sciences; but when the old secretary came to open it, the pages were blank.

This book with blank pages may indicate that life is complex and as such, should be completed with its own set of complexity. no book will ever describe humans. Even the lenth of our days is not within our grasp, "Micromegas answered: "Were you not a philosopher, I should fear to distress you by telling you our lives are 700 times as long as yours; but you know too well that when the time comes to give back one's body to the elements, and reanimate nature under another form--the process called death--when that moment of metamorphosis comes, it is precisely the same whether we have lived an eternity or only a day".

Could it also be that the wisdom of the ages could not be given to man? Would such knowledge be a help or would mankind turn it into a destructive force, as he had so many other thngs. Micromegas was appalled a man's ability to kill one another. The fact that they apeared so insignificant to him, only made it that much more difficult to grasp. He even took out a magnifying glass to examine if these creatures had a soul. No maybe man was best left to his own devises, rather than give them a gift they could use to bring themselves to extinction.
