Man vs. Him/Herself

I think the short story "The Necklace" is a good example of man vs. himself. In the story she is very jealous of citizens that are "higher" in importance than her. So the situation is all in her head, because of her jealousy she had to go to this ball looking the best. So that caused her to want the gown and jewels. Then that led to the loss of the necklace and the ten years of misery and hard work. So Madame Mathilde's problem was all in her head, so she could only fix this problem herself. She had to make herself more content so all of the problems wouldn't have occured in the first place.
