In "The Drunkard" by Frank O'Connor, the primary conflict revolves around the protagonist's struggle with his father's Alcoholism and the impact it has on their family dynamics. The boy grapples with his father's behavior, feeling both pity and shame as he witnesses the emotional turmoil it causes. Additionally, there is an internal conflict within the boy as he navigates his feelings of loyalty to his father while grappling with the desire to escape the burdens of his family's dysfunction. This tension highlights broader themes of addiction, responsibility, and the loss of innocence.
