Detailed explanation-1: -Protagonists and antagonists are both essential characters in a story, but they propel the plot in different and usually opposite ways: The protagonist works toward the central story goals, while the antagonist works against the goals. The words “protagonist” and “antagonist” are antonyms.
Detailed explanation-2: -A protagonist and antagonist are opposites – antonyms. The protagonists are generally the good guys (even it means that sometimes they are antiheroes) while antagonists are generally the bad guys. Look at the protagonists and antagonists in Disney films or in classic children’s fairytales.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Main Character is the player through whom the audience experiences the story first hand. A Protagonist is the prime mover of the plot. A Hero is a combination of both Main Character and Protagonist.
Detailed explanation-4: -The protagonist is the main character who drives the story forward and attempts to overcome various challenges. The antagonist is the character who opposes the protagonist and creates conflict or challenges. In some cases, the antagonist may also be the story’s villain. However, not all antagonists are villains.
Detailed explanation-5: -What does protagonist mean? Like hero, protagonist is a noun that can mean the leading character in a story. However, unlike hero, which historically has only referred to a male characters, a protagonist is defined as “a hero or heroine of a drama or other literary work.”
