In the House of the Scorpion, there are a lot of Man vs. Society issues due to lack of respect for others. For example the main character Matt, is not very well respected because he is a clone. Some even tried to avoid him as much as they can, even though he is the clone of El Patron. Within the novella, Matt face many Man vs. Society because he is “different from everyone else, at least that is what Maria thinks”, even though he has every human qualities and attributes. Matt did not just face Man vs. Society, he faced many conflict like himself, people treated Matt differently, starting when he was at a young age, as time progressed, and he starts to lose sight of himself and what he truly is capable of as a person/clone. But in the end, Matt finally overcome those difficulties because he had a new perception of things and a new perception of the new world when he travel to Aztland (Mexico).
