Man vs. Man - Brother vs Doodle Brother wanted a healthy little brother to play with, not the handicapped Doodle.
Man vs. Himself - Brother struggles with himself, especially at the end when he is stricken with grief over his brother's death.
Man vs. Nature - The Scarlet Ibis dies and only Doodle cares enough to want to bury it.
Man vs. Fate - Doodle is born handicapped, not by choice but by a stroke of fate.
Man vs. Fate - Mother and Father expect Doodle to die soon after birth, but he defies this fate and lives.
Man vs. Society - Doodle competes for his brother's attention. He wants to be accepted by Brother, who represents the normal children in society, so therefore to be accepted, he will follow his older Brother, even to his death. Doodle is powerless at the end, because the demands of society, or Brother, are too great, he expects him to be normal, and he is not.
