Question

read the following excerpt from the man who could invade a bee. a thought, murderous and ruthless, shot into one of hervey deyos brain cells. normally he was neither murderous nor ruthless; quite gentle, indeed. but love brings out the primal man; for the sake of mina loy he would, for a second, be atavistic. he chased the protesting bee across the pane, he got her into a corner, his gloved hand closed on her, she buzzed frantically, he clipped his thumb and forefinger smartly together, he cut her off in full buzz with a sharp incisive sound like a torch plunged into a pond. a perfect climax! hurriedly, furtively, he fed her corpse to a live flamingo in a cage in the corner. on his way home he passed armbuster in the hall; armbuster was distractedly searching for his queen, he was peering under a rug. hervey deyo did not meet the bee mans eye. what two conflicts does this excerpt illustrate? (consider his interaction with the bee as well as the conflict described at the beginning of this passage)

Explanation:

The character Hervey Deyo has a thought that is out - of - character for his normal self, showing an internal conflict. His interaction with the bee where he chases, traps, and kills it represents a conflict between a character and nature.

Answer:

Character vs self; Character vs nature
