Discuss some of the inevitable conflicts in The Crucible.

I think that there are some fundamental conflicts that are
inevitable.  Parris' and Proctor's conflict is fairly unavoidable. Both hold a
fundamentally different world view than the other one.  Proctor sees religious
expression in a more personal light, while Parris sees it as one where there has to be a
social affirmation of the institutional hierarchy, something that Proctor is against. 
When Proctor speaks of Parris' desire for gold candleholders and how he could never sit
and look at the center of the church in the same way again, it reflects a conflict
waiting to happen.  The Putnam family and the Nurse family also feature a conflict that
is brooding.  The Putnams resented the fact that a while back, one of theirs did not
receive favor for a prestigious church position and someone representing the Nurse
family did.  As it says in the stage directions for Act I, this is something that Putnam
bore in his heart and would not relent.  At the same time, with the land charters being
revoked in Salem, there was a general fear of land possession, a desire to strengthen
the hold one had in order to have more.  In this light, Putnam, one of the major land
holders in Salem was bound to run into conflict with another, something that Giles Corey
brings out in his accusations against Putnam in Act III.  Another reason that the Putnam
family would have borne inevitable resentment towards others, in particular Rebecca
Nurse, was in their experience in child birth.  Ann Putnam's dead children in contrasted
with the "success" that Rebecca Nurse featured was a source of brooding resentment to
which end some anger towards someone was going to be released.
