Explanation / Answer
Storys is always based on the objective. The plot is the idealization of the concept for that story. All story has 4 key principles one is objective of story, main characters, opposing characters and subjective story. It is based on the plot of the story the main characters are decided. This leads of the story are called Protagonist. Sometimes the story has a single champion of the story or in some cases, it could be more than one. It is common in the stories that the Protagonist follows utilitarianism i.e they act and behave in a way which could lead to the happiness of others. It could be the happiness of own family or in a few cases for the larger audience like city or country. An antagonist is one who opposes the Protagonist. It sometimes called the villain of the story. Actions of antagonist are usually led to harm or damage to others. This gives the story a baseline to develop a plot on how this conflict is resolved. Sometimes the conflict is resolved with the fight where one party wins. The story always moves in point of view of any one character of the story or as a third-person view of the story. The characters whos actions start negatively affecting someone can be considered as an Antagonist of the story. Each story has a climax, which is a peak point where it clarifies and clears the doubt about the Protagonist and Antagonist.
