Description
It’s said that everyone is the hero of his or her own story. The same could be said of antagonists. Often, the antagonist wants the same thing as the protagonist and, with a shift in storytelling, the antagonist could be the point-of-view character. Knowing this can help us write effective opposition to the protagonist, and create villains who are strong enough to stand up to the hero and who will stick with our readers long after the last page has been turned.
We’ll also discuss the role of well-written allies as a way of supporting and giving opposition to our protagonists.
