The conflict in the book The Reaper Man is duty vs. an easy death (not to be confused with Death with a capital).
It started when Death was given Time, which meant he was going to die. So he can't be Death anymore. Instead he was spending the rest of his life working in a farm for Mrs. Flitworth, disguised as Mr. Bill Door, waiting for an easy death. But when Mrs. Flitworth figure's out who he is and what is happening she has a bit of a talk with Death. When he tells her the new Death will be terrible she manages to persuade him to fight his fate. Then Death prepares some things, makes himself think the impossible and then goes back to Bill Door for a while. He ends up fighting the new Death. The fight has lot's of jumping through walls, something to do with a harvest and all comes down to a scythe. The entire conflict was made up of parts, the whole thing was duty vs an easy death, which has a bit of man vs. self in it because the reaper (Death) has to make himself believe the impossible and the last part is man vs. man. The fight.
