Describe the conflict please.

The conflict of the plot may be variously described:
punishment versus forgiveness, anger versus toleration, rigidity versus understanding,
or the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law. The complication begins
simultaneously with the exposition, for we learn right from the beginning that the
narrator has been subjected to "troubles" and pressures at home. One might make a case
that the story presents a series of mounting crises—namely the family squabble, the fear
of hell as described by Mrs. Ryan, the narrator’s hesitancy to go to confession, and the
farcical actions in the church. The climax is the confession itself, which sets all the
narrator’s apprehensions aside, and the dénouement is a genuine exodos, in which the
narrator and his sister walk away from the church toward home.
