Antagonist V. Protagonist
Every book has a protagonist and most have an antagonist. A protagonist is the central character in the story. They are most often the character the reader sympathizes with, although some protagonists are not sympathetic. Sometimes the main character is just not a likeable person. An antagonist is the character who introduces the conflict into a story. If your protagonist is a character you cannot sympathize with, your antagonist might actually be a good person, just not the center of your story.
Key things to remember:
1. An antagonist is not necessarily evil
2. A protagonist is not necessarily good
3. To locate the protagonist, decide who is the center of the story
4. To locate the antagonist, decide who is bringing the conflict to the story
