Introduction

This lesson is about the different types of characters found in literature.

The

different types I will cover in this lesson are the

protagonist and antagonist

.

I

will explain what each of these entail so that you can identify types of characters in stories that you read. Slide3

Protagonist/Antagonist

It is easiest to think of the protagonist and antagonist characters as the "good guy" and the "bad guy" respectively. Slide4

Hero and villain

In order to understand protagonist and antagonist, you can think of the protagonist as the hero and the antagonist as the villain. Slide5

How to Remember

The prefix pro means good, or positive.

The prefix ant means bad, or negative.

Protagonist

Central character of story

Can be male or female

Written

as being "good" most of the time, but in some instances can be "bad."

Story usually told from protagonists point of view. Slide7

Antagonist

Causes

or leads the conflict against the

protagonist

Not

always human, but can be a group or force as well.

Mirrors protagonist

Whatever

the protagonist does that is good, the antagonist will work to

undo.

Usually

the antagonist attempts to disguise him/her/itself. Slide8

Example

Consider the story

The Three Little Pigs

.

In the original story, the three pigs are the protagonists and the wolf is the antagonist.

A new book titled

The Real Story of The Three Little Pigs

is written in the wolf's point of view and he becomes the protagonist and the pigs are the antagonists. Slide9

Protagonist/Antagonist

Completely different and in

most cases, complete

opposites

Can

both be very complex

Just

because the protagonist is the central character in the story does not mean that he/she/it is any more complex than the antagonist. Slide10

How to identify

Think about which character is central to the story. (protagonist)

Think about which character (or what force) is acting against that central character (antagonist).

Usually you can consider which character is good and which is bad.

In most instances, the good character is the protagonist and the bad, or opposing character, is the antagonist.
