- Person vs. Person → fighting or disagreeing with another person
- Person vs. Society → struggling against rules, groups, or systems in society
- Person vs. Nature → battling weather, animals, or natural forces
- Person vs. Self → inner struggle, like feeling guilty, confused, or disappointed in yourself
