Here's a breakdown:
* Sarty's internal conflict: The core struggle lies within Sarty himself. He is torn between loyalty to his father, Abner Snopes, and his growing awareness of right and wrong. Abner's actions – burning barns and committing other acts of violence – deeply trouble Sarty, but he is also terrified of his father's wrath. This internal conflict drives the story, as Sarty grapples with his conscience and the consequences of choosing one side over the other.
While other conflicts exist:
* Man vs. Society: Abner's actions are a direct defiance of societal norms and laws, placing him in conflict with the established order.
* Man vs. Man: There are instances of physical confrontations between Abner and other characters, like the confrontation with Major de Spain.
However, the internal battle within Sarty is the central conflict, highlighting the story's focus on moral ambiguity and the agonizing choice between loyalty and conscience.
