Well, 'Moby - Dick' can be considered as a man vs man (Captain Ahab vs the whale which in a sense represents nature but also has elements of man vs man). Also, 'Dracula' shows the battle between the vampire hunter Van Helsing and Dracula, which is a classic man vs man situation in a gothic horror setting.

One of the notable man vs man novels is 'The Three Musketeers'. D'Artagnan gets involved in various duels and rivalries with other characters. In addition, 'Great Expectations' has Pip's complex relationships and rivalries with other men, like Estella's other suitors, which can be seen as a form of man vs man dynamic.
Another one is 'To Build a Fire' by Jack London. Although it's mainly about man vs nature, there is also an element of man vs man in a sense. The man in the story is pitted against his own pride and lack of respect for the wilderness which can be seen as an internal 'man' he is fighting against, leading to his downfall.
Sure. 'The Most Dangerous Game' is a great man vs man short story. It's about a hunter who becomes the hunted on an island. Another one is 'The Cask of Amontillado' where one man takes revenge on another in a very chilling way. Also, 'To Build a Fire' can be seen as a man vs man story in a sense, as the man battles against the unforgiving nature which can be considered as an adversary, just like another man would be.

Character development is a key aspect. Take 'Sherlock Holmes' stories. Holmes is constantly in a battle of wits with his adversaries. Through these man vs man interactions, his character is further defined, as are the characters of his opponents. Also, the plot usually hinges on the actions and counter - actions between the two opposing sides.
Another one is 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk. The unnamed narrator is torn between his dull, conformist life and the wild, anarchic world he creates in Fight Club. He has an internal struggle with his own identity, consumerism, and masculinity, which is exacerbated by his relationship with Tyler Durden.
Sure. One example is 'The Iliad' where Achilles and Hector engage in a great man - to - man conflict. Their fight is not just about personal glory but also represents the struggle between the Greeks and the Trojans.
Sure. 'The Law of Life' by Jack London is a great 'man vs nature' short story. It shows an old man left behind by his tribe in the cold, facing nature's harshness. There's also 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury. In this story, time travel is involved, and the small changes made by man during the travel lead to huge consequences in nature. And 'The Snow - Image: A Childish Miracle' also has elements of man interacting with nature in a rather unique way.
One well - known'man vs society' short story is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. In this story, a small town has an annual lottery where the winner is stoned to death. It shows how the individual, Tessie Hutchinson, is pitted against the long - held and blindly - followed traditions of the society. Another is 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. It presents a dystopian society where everyone is made equal by handicapping the more intelligent, strong, or beautiful. The protagonist, Harrison, rebels against this forced equality which is a clear case of man against society. And 'A&P' by John Updike also falls into this category. Sammy, the young cashier, quits his job in a supermarket in a moment of rebellion against the stodgy social norms and expectations represented by his manager and the customers.
