In a story, who is the character actively opposing the protagonist?

• A. Protagonist
• B. Antagonist
• C. Narrator
• D. Sidekick

Answer: (B)

In stories, the character who actively opposes the protagonist is the antagonist. This role involves clashing with the hero's goals and creating obstacles or conflicts that the protagonist must overcome. The protagonist is the main character the story follows, while the narrator is simply the voice that tells the story, and a sidekick is usually a supportive companion. So the one actively opposing the protagonist—the figure driving the central conflict—is the antagonist.
