Characters • Protagonist the character(s) or force(s) around whom the story revolves typically is determined by the conflict and/or point of view, but not always for each conflict, there is one person or one group that plays the role of protagonist Huck learns about injustices of life In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet learn about the passion of love Scout learned about the injustices of life To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus learned that he was right; doing the right thing is usually tough Great Gatsby Nick learns that everyone has an ounce of decency

  3. Characters • Antagonist the character(s) or force(s) who cause the conflict for the protagonist typically is determined by who/what the protagonist struggles with And who/what the protagonist must overcome in order to reach the resolution for each conflict, there is one force to act as the antagonist society & its expectations challenge Huck’s piece of mind In the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn their parents act as obstacles to happiness Romeo and Juliet fate and divine intervention seems to act against the lovers’ happiness Ignorance and bias prevent Scout from peace To Kill a Mockingbird traditional ways prevent Atticus from being accepted Great Gatsby past tragedies haunt Jay until he is able to deal with them
