Are you searching for this conflict in any text or within a specific text?
This conflict is relatively easy to locate. What, internally and emotionally, is holding the character back from achieving a goal?
For example, if Superman (in the Smallville version) has to give up his personal relationships in order to actualize his true potential, what conflicts might he be suffering through? The fight with ones desires and wants with what one wants to do is what essentially creates an internal conflict.
You have to read carefully, the novel you are currently studying, and figure out what this character wants and if it is himself that stands in the way of his goals.
