In a literary text, the 'character vs. self' conflict occurs when a character in the story struggles with a personal dilemma or imperfection. The passage about Millicent occurs when she had just gone through a part of the initiation which she believes was the hardest part of it all. One can see that prior to this time, Millicent had experienced doubts or a dilemma as to what the hardest part of the initiation was. Now that she had it all figured out, her doubt was cleared. Thus she had overcome the self-conflict.
