The second conflict in the novel is within Ethan Frome himself. He faces large conflict with his own conscience. Ethan is having to make many hard decisions. He also has to live with the fact that staying married to his wife, Zeena, is morally right but the love in the relationship is one-sided. Ethan also has to live with the fact that he loves Zeena but it is unethical for him to cheat on his wife.
"He was not the kind of man to be turned from his business by any commotion of the elements." (pg. 17)
