Chapter 5: Individual vs Society or Man vs Man?

I'm curious to what you guys think about the conflict between the landowners and the banks were in chapter 5. In my opinion, I think it's individual vs society. I see the landowners as the individuals and the banks as a society. I know since the bank is made up men, you'd think of it as man vs man, but not quite. A society can be an organization formed for a particular purpose (I looked it up). The landowners are the individuals here because even though they're all facing the same problem, each family is only worrying about themselves. As for why I see the bank as a society well they're working together like a community.

  1. Yes, I agree with you. It was a little difficult to decide because the bank was created by man. At the end, I precieved it the bank as a creation that society cannot destroy now, so society must forge itself with it and go against the few who cannot.
