man vs man (external conflict)

-narrator against the bulging eye guy

-narrator against police officers who visit

-there is also a certain antagonism of the narrator on the reader. He doesn't expect the reader to understand his genius. The reader of course thinks he's insane.

man vs himself (internal conflict)

-narrator getting nervous/ stressing himself out.

One conflict would be a person vs. self-conflict since the narrator found the eye of the old man very annoying. The narrator couldn’t stand it. The old man was nice but the eye was what had annoyed the narrator. The narrator attempted to kill the old man so that he wouldn’t be bothered by the eye of the old man anymore.
