Both types

In the short story Eveline, the main character Eveline seem to be strugging mostly with internal conflict. This conflict appears to be Eveline wanting to escape with her boyfriend Frank. Throughout the whole story, Eveline is sitting at at her window thinking about the whole situation and why she wants to escape. But in thinking about this, she brings about the external conflict that seems to occur as well. She describes her father as being violent towards her and her brothers. Then later on in the short story, we find out that her mother had died from and illness and her father had been a nice person when her mother was alive. From this information given, I can conclude that because of her mother's death, this is what caused him to be violent and maybe and alcoholic. These two conflicts provide a better understanding for why she has a desire to leave and run away from home. But Eveline was told by her mom before she died to keep the home to keep the house in order for as long as she could. I believe that becuase of this promise that Eveline made to her mother, that is what caused her not to leave with Frank at the end.
