"A Good Man is Hard to Find" (O'Connor, 1953)

Characters do what they do because of their various motivations and desires. Often, their desires conflict with their ethical or moral responsibilities. For example, a personal belief, a love, a thirst for vengeance, a resolve to rectify a wrong, or some other ambition may cause a character to conflict with a moral obligation. Write about a literary work in which a character's motivations/desire conflict with his/her ethical responsibilities.
