What are two conflicts in flowers for algernon by daniel keyes please answer my question before 10PMET?
External (and internal) conflicts--Charley discovers that the people he thought were his friends had only viewed him as "entertainment" and now resent his superior abilities. In other words, so-called "normal" people tend to look down upon those who are mental disabled. and are intimidated by those who flaunt extraordinary intelligence. When Charley's intellect reaches super-genius level and surpasses even his doctors', they, in turn, resent his abilities. Charley becomes baffled by this turn of events and finds himself isolated.





Internal--Charley discovers a newly-found sexual-emotional relationship with the opposite sex. In this instance, it's with his former teacher, Alice Kinnian.
