In the Count of Monte Cristo, what are specific textual examples of each type of conflict? (Man vs. Man, Man vs. Self, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society)

If you could cite the chapter or page number, or just give what general part the quote is from that would be great. I think I know Self & Man but Nature & Society are stumping me.

This took me awhile, also. Nature might be a stretch, but he did escape into the ocean. And there's also the fact that he had to face the nature of living in the horrible prison with the elements attempting to freeze or boil him to death. Man versus society would possibly be any of the points where he encounters his former 'friends' who've moved up in society and Dantes uses their personal flaws against them.
