Man v. Man) in this story there are several examples of this type of conflict. The duke Paul’s father is fighting with the Barron there families enemy over the planets rare resource spice. It is the main conflict of the story.
Man v. Self) A good example of this is the character Yeuh. He is a doctor and one of Paul’s teachers but he has been hired or black mailed into assassinating Paul and his father. He is constantly questioning his decision to do it and you can tell he doesn’t want to hurt the boy but there is a chance that he might get to see his wife again or at the very least get an opportunity to kill the Barron. Why he doesn’t fight with the Duke to achieve the same goal I don't know.
'Man v. Nature) the planet is a dessert world that barley any life lives on. Water is the most precise resource and people kill for it.
Man v. Society) the duke's family is new to the planet but they were made into the ruling class over the entire planet by the emperor. The Freemen the desert people who already occupied the planet aren’t really in conflict with the duke in fact he wants them as his allies. the freeman however are used to fighting the baryon the former owner of the planet in gorilla warfare so the are still deciding if that is going to continue even under new management.
Man v. God/Fate) The Freemen have a legend about someone born to a mother of the bene gesserit who will become a great leader and bring to fruition that entire he says he will do. The Freemen are waiting to see what Paul can do because he meets most of the criteria of the prophecy.
