Another great one is 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut. In this dystopian short story, society enforces complete equality, which means handicapping the more talented individuals. Harrison Bergeron is an individual who rebels against this forced equality, highlighting the conflict between his individuality and the over - controlling society.

A lesser - known but interesting 'individual vs society' short story is 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula K. Le Guin. The story presents a seemingly perfect society, but at the cost of the suffering of one child. Some individuals in the story can't accept this and choose to walk away, showing the clash between their individual morality and the society's collective well - being.

Morality is also a key theme. When society's values clash with an individual's sense of right and wrong, it creates a conflict. In stories like 'Bartleby, the Scrivener' by Herman Melville, Bartleby's refusal to work goes against the capitalist - driven work ethic of society, and his actions make the reader question the morality of both Bartleby and the society that surrounds him.
