In the "The Most Dangerous Game," what are the person vs. person conflicts, person vs. nature conflicts, and person vs. obstacle conflicts?

PERSON VS.
PERSON.  Rainsford and Zaroff share several conflicts
during the story, including their differences between the moral aspects of murder
and Zaroff's decision to make Rainsford the prey of his biggest hunt. Rainsford also has
to deal with Ivan, Zaroff's gigantic
servant. 


PERSON VS.
NATURE.  Rainsford has to deal with the elements of the
treacherous Ship-Trap Island, including the jungle, quicksand of the Death Swamp, and
the rocks beneath the cliff from which he
jumps.


PERSON VS.
OBSTACLES.  Zaroff and Ivan are subject to the traps that
Rainsford sets for them during the hunt, including the Burmese tiger pit (with sharpened
stakes hidden beneath a covered, false path) and the Malay
mancatcher.
