Conflicts in Out of the Silent Planet

In class on Monday, we discussed five types of conflict: Man v. Man, Man v. Self, Man v. Nature, Man v. Society, and Man v. God/Fate. In my novel, Out of the Silent Planet, most of of these conflicts are introduced. Man v. Man is illustrated in my book when Ransom fights against Weston and Divine. Man v. Self is demonstrated when Ransom treks across this strange world and finds the courage to save not only an alien race, but also his own soul. Man v. Nature is introduced when Ranson runs off when the three reach Malacandra. He wanders around, finding many differences between earth and Malacandra, such as that all the lakes, streams, and rivers are warm, the gravity is significantly less, and the plants and mountains are strangely tall and thin. Man v. society is portrayed when he runs into an intelligent native of Malacandra, a hross named Hyoi. He becomes a guest at Hyoi's village for several months, where he uses his philoligical skills to learn the langauge of the Hrossa and finds out about their culture. Man v. Society is also demonstrated when he has to battle evil on this new world. Man v. God/Fate is demonstrated when he overcomes his fear and comes to fate.
