Answer:
The protagonist handles the conflict quite poorly in the beginning of the story because he is so hungry and lose hope, this is stated "Hunger made our envy as dull and feeble as all our other feelings. We had no strength left for feelings, to search for easier work, to walk, to ask, to beg." but then gets the urge for freedom.
