The conflict in the short story Condensed milk is survival in a Gulag, hunger, and desperation.

Explanation:

The story follows Shestakov, a camp geologist who asks a miner to help him escape the Gulag. The miner knows the task is impossible but because he is hungry he agrees to do it in exchange for 2 cans of condensed milk.

Many prisoners attempt to escape with Shestakov but are captured and some of them are killed.

In this story, the miner walks into sure death just to have condensed milk once. The desperation and perennial hunger of the gulags pushed him to trade his life for some food that is usually a staple in normal people's lives.

This hunger and desperation is the main conflict of the story.

What evidence do you find in the story early autumn to suggest that Mary regretted losing ‘Bill’ more than he regretted losing h
kicyunya [14]

First, it signals the end of Bill and Mary's attempt at conversation, startling Mary into the present.

If the lights symbolize truth or revelation, then their sudden brightness represents the irrefutable passage of time and the impossibility of ever recovering or re-doing the past. That the lights run "the whole length of Fifth Avenue" further emphasizes the completeness of this truth; there is no way to escape the passage of time.

It's worth noting that the lights turn on right after Bill says, "You ought to see my kids" and grins. It's a surprisingly unguarded moment, and it's the only expression of genuine warmth in the story. It's possible that his and Mary's children might represent those lights, being the brilliant chains that link the past with an ever-hopeful future.
