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.
