Motivational assertion is the correct answer. It is an intrinsic motivation to have autonomy and self determination.
In Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Canto 4, Cirlce 1, the protagonist enters the Limbo. This is described as the home of virtuous non-christians and children who died without being baptized. Among the virtuous non-christians are Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan (Classical Poets), among other heroes and genius minds of prior times. While the text alludes to the fact that these are not the only people in Limbo, these are the only ones mentioned by name.
Therefore, your best answer is classic poets and <u />unbaptized infants.
The reader sees that there is a great deal of external conflict, especially between Lennie and various people such a Curley's wife, whom he ultimately kills accidentally. George, in his trying to take care of Lennie, often intervenes in the "man vs man" conflicts because Lennie's limited abilities causes him to miss the nuances of life among groups. George does have some internal conflict, since he has to decide whether or not to kill Lennie. He makes the decision to "put him out of his misery" which has not happened yet but would be "external" if he had to face the "mob" after Curley's wife's death.
There are multiple answers in mind but this one stick out the most inside of my head
