This conflict was emphasized throughout the whole novel and was not resolved until each passed away at the end of the novel.
Man vs. Society:
There are a couple of examples of this conflict occurring in the novel. First off, the creature can be perceived as a man in this scenario because he was intended to be similar to humans. The Creature struggled with being loved and treated like a human being. While he was not seen as a human, he seemed to have a kind, curious heart. This is something that can relate to a theme of having a good internal compass is better than your outer looks. Secondly, Dr. Frankenstein struggled with society and other men as he was seen the creator of the chaos. Frankenstein struggled with loneliness and isolation and it can relate to the main conflict of him vs. himself. Regardless, these conflicts in the novel proved to be crucial for the theme of the novel and for the audience as a whole.

Jurassic Park:
Man vs. Himself:
The main conflict of the movie also revolves around the idea of a man struggling with himself. Dr. Hammond wants to prove himself to the world by creating a new, world-renowned attraction: Jurassic Park. During and after the chaos breaks out, Hammond begins to realize the true danger of his passion. He is constantly struggling between his pride and the idea of true morals. He wants his park to thrive and remain as he attempts to fix the problem by any means possible. However, it is soon realized that it cannot be resolved at this point. He battles with own self as he fights for the safety of his grandchildren and his visiting peers while also fighting to save his love, his creation. He truly loved his passion and his dinosaurs, but just like Frankenstein, he had to make the hard choice of keeping others safe or letting his own “reflection” wander freely in the world.
Man vs. Society:
Another conflict in the movie revolves around Hammond and his fight against society. He brings in experts to approve his attraction and constantly faces fears and doubts with them. He feels the need to impress them and jeopardizes their safety in hopes of getting approval. As the movie goes on, he faces constant scolding and questioning as he affected the lives of many by his own blind pursuit of passion. While this conflict may not be the main issue, it remains crucial to the story line of the movie and holds a key idea that relates closely to the theme of the cinematic piece.

Moral Dilemmas:
Man vs. Himself:
Several people on various internet blogs and discussion boards have debated about whether or not the executioners (the people actually firing the rifles or flipping the switch) have PTSD symptoms. Some correctional officers have been to therapy sessions but instances of reported PTSD are few and far between. There is constant stress and tension when having to deal with the death penalty and it relates closely to personal struggle.
Man vs. Society:
The biggest struggle vs society is with regards to the constitutionality of the death penalty. The 8th Amendment explicitly prevents cruel and unusual punishment and anti-death penalty advocates suggest that it violates the 8th Amendment and the 'Eye for and Eye' logic is invalid because the death penalty is immoral. The death penalty advocates believe that it serves a vital role in our judicial system and that it is a just punishment for capital crimes.
