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.
