Question

There are two kinds of conflict in the story: between humans and nature, and between humans themselves. How are these conflicts illustrated?

Answer 1

The clash between humanity and nature is exemplified by a hailstorm that devastated Lencho's farm, leaving him despondent about his prospects. This highlights the man-versus-nature conflict. Furthermore, the narrative depicts a conflict among humans. The postmaster and his colleagues pooled resources to send money to Lencho, an act of altruism devoid of personal connection. Despite their good intentions, Lencho accused them of theft, demonstrating a lack of faith in fellow humans and thus illustrating the man-versus-man conflict.
