Man vs. Nature

"How to Build a Fire" is a good example of man vs. nature. The man believes he can defeat nature and survive trying to walk the forest in nagative 50 degree weather. He is almost convinced that nature has won when he starts to lose feeling in his hands and toes. But then he builds a fire which is not a success. Then as he slowly cannot feel anything anymore he is finally convinced that nature has won while he dies in the cold weather, alone. This story is obviously man vs. nature because his struggle to survive the deathly cold weather.
