Framton Nuttel in "The Open Window" appears to be nervous and gullible, easily influenced by the fanciful storytelling of the young girl, Vera. He is described as suffering from a nervous condition and seems socially awkward, making him vulnerable to Vera's elaborate story. Overall, he comes across as easily persuaded and lacking in discernment.
The conflict of this story is man .vs. man. Vera deliberately exploits Nuttel's nervousness for her own pleasure. The secondary conflict could be man .vs. self (Nuttel's nervousness fuels Vera's storytelling). Trying to decide the conflict is easy if you look at character motivation...what does the character want or need, how does he go about getting it, and who/what stands in the way.

The main topic is about how Framton Nuttel has presented himself at the Sappleton house to pay a visit. He is in the country undergoing a rest cure for his nerves and is calling on Mrs. Sappleton at the request of his sister. Though she does not know Mrs. Sappleton well, she worries that her brother will suffer if he keeps himself in total seclusion, as he is likely to do. Fifteen-year-old Vera keeps Nuttel company while they wait for her aunt. After a short silence, Vera asks if Nuttel knows many people in the area. Nuttel replies in the negative, admitting that of Mrs. Sappleton he only knows her name and address. Vera then informs him that her aunt's "great tragedy" happened after his sister was acquainted with her. Vera indicates the large window that opened on to the lawn. Exactly three years ago, Vera recounts, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers walked through the window to go on a day's hunt. They never came back....
