Francie went in trembling. She had never seen a doctor or a nurse in all of her small life. The whiteness of the uniforms, the shiny cruel instruments laid out on a napkin on a tray, the smell of antiseptics, and especially the cloudy sterilizer with its bloody red cross filled her with tongue-tied fright.

What is the main conflict in this excerpt?
A. character vs. self
B. character vs. character
C. character vs. nature
D. character vs. society

The correct answer is character vs society. Francie is the character who is in conflict with society, here represented by the health system. The extent of the conflict is shown by the very negative descriptions of the doctors, other health care professionals and general environment of the hospital.

The answer is "D. character vs. society".

A Character versus Society conflict happens when a character conflicts with the laws of their general public, an overbearing government, or an unreasonable network outlook. Normally the hero is a selfless or hopeful person who sees foul play and needs to rectify it for his or her reality. Most Character versus Society clashes include a type of tragic or overbearing society which must be toppled or debilitated so as to reestablish essential human rights, for example, the right to speak freely and thought. Some of the time a Character versus Society conflict manages a social equity issue or an unreasonable law in their general public.
