A protagonist (from Ancient Greek ÏÏÏÏÎ±Î³ÏÎ½Î¹ÏÏÎ®Ï (protagonistes), meaning 'player of the first part, chief actor') is the main character in any story, such as a literary work or drama. The protagonist is at the center of the story, typically makes the key decisions and experiences the consequences of those decisions.
Characters can also be categorized as protagonists or antagonists. A protagonist is usually the main character who is experiencing the conflict caused by the antagonist, or opposing force in the story. Think Luke Skywalker versus Darth Vader, Harry Potter versus Voldemort, or Tom Hanks in Castaway versus his environment.
