Did you read Themes and Motifs in Sparknotes? If Johnny is the "hero", what is he fighting in his own way?

Regarding "dialect". Where does the story take place? How do the people there speak?
Who is the antagonist in the book, Death Be Not Proud? Also, what type of conflict is it and what is the climax of the story? Is the climax when Johnny starts having a stiff neck and they discover he has a tumor in his brain? And what is the dialect of the book?
I already had some hrlp with this question but id didn't seem to work

I read the Themes and motifs and it ansered some of my questions regarding the theme and the antagonist. Johnny is fighting his illness, but i don't know whether the conflict is man vs. man or man vs. himself or any other one. The story is taking place in New YOrk, connecticut, and massachusetts, so i think they speak standard american english. However, i still don't know what the climax is.
LOL... standard American English with a Yankee accent. <G> You know. That "Hahvaad Yaaad" bit.
The climax is Johnny dies. That is the end of the conflict. The climax of any story comes when there can be no other result. Now you have to decide did Johnny win because he died without giving up hope and dignity, or did death win?
