The quote that best represents the conflict in “Marigolds”, a short story written by Nadia Beaubrun, is quote (A). The conflict in this short story is internal one, which means that the main character Lizabeth is in conflict with herself. As she says in quote A, she is fighting with her inner childlike self: “The child in me sulked and said it was all in fun, but the woman in me flinched at the thought of the malicious attack that I had led”.
