Protagonist
Protagonist is known as the main character or “the good guy” of the story. This definition
is not completely true since a protagonist is not always a main character or necessarily good. The
protagonist is the lead character of the story. Their goals reflect the goals of the overall story
since the plot moves according to the decisions the protagonist makes. A protagonist can be
either a “good” character (i.e. full of moral integrity) or a “bad” character (i.e. lacking moral
integrity). Most of the time, the protagonist is the main character of the story since “some people
differentiate between “protagonist” and “main character,” saying that the protagonist moves the
story forward, while the main character may be anyone who features heavily — but doesn’t
necessarily drive the narrative.” However, “protagonist” and “main character” are known as
synonymous terms. P Protagonist can be divided into three types: (a) lonely hero; (b) group
hero; and (c) anti-hero. In the film The Chronicle of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe (2005), the three types of protagonist can be found, and it is listed as:
1. Lonely Hero
The lonely hero is the
typical protagonist, perhaps
because it is seen as the most
“heroic” type. The protagonist of
this type is the only character that
can stop evil from winning and
save the day. “Though they’re
usually helped by a team of
supporting characters, the ultimate
burden of the quest falls squarely
on the shoulders of the lonely hero.
They are the one who must
sacrifice the most in order to
accomplish their goal.” For example, Aslan, the Lion.
2. Group Hero
The protagonist of this type is
multiple persons who are involved in the
story’s main events and conflict. All of
them might not have the same purpose or
do the same tasks, however they work
together to achieve the same goal. “No one
person stands out beyond the rest — or if
they do, it’s only because the group helped
them get there.” For example, the Pevensie
siblings in The Chronicle of Narnia which
are Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter.
 3. Anti-hero
Most of the time, protagonists
are portrayed as heroes who are
selfless, kind, and courageous, but
“they can also be bitter, sarcastic, and
perhaps less-than-morally-upright.”
And that type of protagonist is the
antihero which is “a hero without
typically “heroic” traits.” For example,
Edmund Pevensie from The Chronicle
of Narnia.

H. Antagonist
The antagonist is the main opponent of the protagonist, and the biggest obstacle between
the main character and their goal. Same like the protagonist, the antagonist can also take many
different forms. “From the traditional villain working alone, to a group of people, a force of
nature, or even an intrinsic conflict, the one uniting factor of all antagonists is that they challenge
the protagonist in some way.” There
are four types of antagonists: (a)
villain; (b) group villains; (c)
inanimate forces; and (d) intrinsic
forces or the protagonist itself. The
villain antagonist is often seen as the
classic evil character. “Not only do
the villain’s goals oppose the
protagonist’s, they are also actively
working against them in order to
fulfill their own ambitions.” For
example, Jadis, the White Witch, in
The Chronicle of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005).
