Read the passage from “Initiation.”The door behind her opened and a ray of light sliced across the soft gloom of the basement room.

"Hey Millicent, come on out now. This is it." There were some of the girls outside.

"I'm coming," she said, getting up and moving out of the soft darkness into the glare of light, thinking: This is it, all right. The worst part, the hardest part, the part of initiation that I figured out myself.



The passage provides evidence that Millicent has just overcome what kind of conflict?


character vs. character

character vs. nature

character vs. self

character vs. society

Answers

Character vs self.

In the passage Millicent has just gone through one of the initiation tasks. The passage describes her as coming out of a basement room that was in complete darkness. The only light she sees is when she is let out of the room. Since this is an initiation and not mandatory imprisonment, Millicent has the ability to leave the darkened room so she is not going up against any external forces like other characters, nature, or society. She must battle the dark solitary confinement on her own. This is an internal character vs self conflict.

The passage demonstrates Millicent's recent resolution of the internal conflict described in option (C): "character vs. self."

What kind of conflict does the passage deliver?

Millicent has just completed one of the initiation tasks in the route. She emerges from a subterranean room that is completely black, according to the text.

She only sees light when she is escorted out of the room. Millicent has the option to leave the gloomy room because this is an initiation rather than required confinement, therefore she is not up against any external forces such as other characters, nature, or society.

She is on her alone in the gloomy solitary imprisonment. This is a self-conflict vs. internal character conflict.
