Question

Read the passage from “Initiation.”

The door behind her opened and a ray of light sliced across the soft gloom of the basement room.

"Hey Millicent, come on out now. This is it." There were some of the girls outside.

"I'm coming," she said, getting up and moving out of the soft darkness into the glare of light, thinking: This is it, all right. The worst part, the hardest part, the part of initiation that I figured out myself.

The passage provides evidence that Millicent has just overcome what kind of conflict?

character vs. character
character vs. nature
character vs. self
character vs. society

Answer 1

character vs. self

She’s moving out of the darkness into the light and thinking the hardest part was something she “figured out myself,” indicating an internal struggle (fear, hesitation, decision) rather than an external opponent.
