Question

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

Solution

• The conflict between humans and nature is shown by the destruction of Lencho’s crops by the hailstorm.

• As the crops failed by hail, Lencho started feeling sad and gloomy.

• The storm appropriately projects the conflict of the nature and the man.

• The story also shows another conflict, between humans themselves.

• The postmaster, along with the help of the other post office employees, sent Lencho the money that they could manage to collect.

• They were not related to Lencho in any manner.

• It was an act of kindness and selflessness on their part.

• Even though they did a good deed, Lencho blamed them for taking away some amount of money.

• This shows that man does not have faith ¡n his fellow humans, thereby giving rise to this conflict.
