Post #3 - Protagonist
The protagonist is the main character that a novel or story focuses on the most. This character is well developed. The reader is able to connect and understand the protagonist on a deeper level. The protagonist is who the author uses to help convey a message. The protagonist in 1984 is Winston and the protagonist in Their Eyes were Watching God is Janie and in The Stranger it is Meursault. The protagonist can also in some cases be considered the hero.

This helped me understand how the author uses a protagonist to depict a message or theme of a novel. An example of a protagonist is Luke Skywalker from the star wars sega.
ReplyDeleteYour definition really helped clarify what the protagonist's purpose was in a story and why they are important to developing the more important aspects of a novel. Another example of a protagonist could be Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteYour post helped me understand that the protagonist is not always the hero but just the main charactter. Another example of a protagonist could be Woody from Toy Story.
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping me realize that the protagonist is not just a hero, like superman or batman or spiderman or aquaman, and that they can be just a main character or focus point. Another example of a protagonist could be Ted Mosby.
