Protagonist• Protagonist (pro-TAG-eh-nist) • A protagonist is considered
to be the main character or lead figure in a novel, play, story, or poem.
• It may also be referred to as the "hero" of a work. Over a period of time the meaning of the term protagonist has changed.
• The word protagonist originated in ancient Greek drama and referred to the leader of a chorus. Soon the definition was changed to represent the first actor onstage. In some literature today it may be difficult to decide who is playing the role of the protagonist.

Antagonist• A character in a story or poem who
deceives, frustrates, or works
against the main character, or
protagonist in some way.
• The antagonist doesn't necessarily
have to be a person. It could be
death, the devil, an illness, or any
challenge that prevents the main
character from living "happily ever
after." In fact, the antagonist could be
a character of virtue in a literary work
where the protagonist represents evil.
