There are many conflicts within Hamlet. Some of them were minor, such as when Fortinbras wanted to attach the Kingdom of Denmark (physical or man vs. man). However, the main and most important conflicts were the internal family conflicts within both Hamlet's family and in Ophelia's family: the murder of Old King Hamlet by his own brother, Hamlet's struggle for revenge and the psychological factor/struggle for both Claudius and Hamlet to kill the other first (it was a mind game for them/they were throughout the play trying to outdo the other). Another conflict was the Laertes and his father's murder (committed by Hamlet).

An example is Hamlet vs. Claudius, because Claudius has killed Hamlets father, and the ghost of his father has came back and told him to basically avenge his death. Throughout the play, Hamlet continually tries to find out how to do this.

All of the types of conflict found in narrative literature are found in Shakespeare's plays; indeed most of the plays feature all of them at the same time.

Let's take a scene in King Lear. Lear has just taken the unprecedented step of trying to retire as king while appointing his daughters and sons-in-law to rule in his stead. His plan is in conflict with the social norm. As it develops he finds that he and his daughters Regan and Goneril have distinctly different concepts of who is to what in this new kingdom, which causes conflict between him and them. He rushes out into a raging storm.

His struggle against the storm (struggle with nature) is parallel with his struggle with his own feelings of anger which are causing him to go insane (struggle with himself), arising out of his dispute with his daughters (struggle with other people), which arise from his change of tradition (struggle with the conventions of society). And all that in one scene.
