    Tessie Hutchinson is in conflict with society.

    Explanation:

    Tessie Hutchinson does not agree with the rest of the people on the resolution of the problem; what Tessie is facing is a conflict with society as her perspective on what should be done, contrasts with what is most likely to happen as a result of the majority's decision.
