Usually used as a term referring to books or movies individual versus society means the main character or characters is in contrast to the society set in the novel. For example in the novel Fahrenheit 451 Montag was the main character and he was against the society of bookburners in the novel. Books can have plots that are individual vs. society, individual vs. himself, man vs. man, or man vs. animal
