I sort of like how your chart lets writers slip across time periods, but for man vs tech I think DFW is wrong. His book is much more man vs self using pomo techniques. Maybe DeLillo? Or Ballard's Crash? And while obviously Cervantes is foundational, Tristram Shandy is more tangibly pomo in feel.

twist the terms as much as you can, these texts do not belong to these categories
also, reading The Trial as man vs society is the most brainlet and surface-level take on a book that can in truth accommodate an immense number of readings

You're right, this isn't about the English language. You don't understand that the dates the books were written is irrelevant to the conflict in the book. Lots of the examples in this thread could be multiple squares, so I don't know how useful these charts are in the first place. I'd rather see an example of every conflict from every era.

I guess that does make you right. If you can just shove whatever you want anywhere then the terms are useless. I'm a retard, thanks.

This has to be right, otherwise it would become impossible to write about man vs nature, which it clearly isn't (in fact it's more likely to be an explicit theme in modern books than classical ones).

Similarly, postmodernism is trendy now, but it's not like irony sprung up out of nowhere after Hitler.
