Glavni lik

Književni pojam · izgovor proh-TAG-uh-nist

Protagonist je glavni lik čiji ciljevi, odluke i borbe oblikuju glavnu radnju priče. Protagonist ne mora biti dobar ni vrijedan divljenja, a možda nije ni pripovjedač priče.

Načini na koje se protagonist može pojaviti

A protagonist who grows

Some protagonists change as their experiences challenge their beliefs or habits. Their growing understanding helps shape the story.

In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet reads Darcy’s letter and begins to question her judgments of both Darcy and Wickham.

In Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

A protagonist who does wrong

A protagonist can act cruelly or selfishly. Being central to the story does not make a character a good person.

In Macbeth, Macbeth murders King Duncan to take the throne, setting off further violence and his own downfall.

In Macbeth by William Shakespeare

A protagonist who tells the story

A protagonist may also be the narrator, telling readers about events in which they take part. The two roles overlap, but they are not the same.

In Jane Eyre, Jane recounts leaving Thornfield after discovering that Rochester is already married, despite her love for him.

In Jane Eyre: An Autobiography by Charlotte Brontë

Koja je razlika između protagonista i junaka?

Protagonist je središnji lik, dok se junak obično cijeni zbog hrabrosti ili dobrih djela. Isti lik može biti oboje, ali protagonist može biti i sebičan, okrutan ili duboko u krivu.

Koja je razlika između protagonista i antagonista?

Protagonist je središnji lik, dok se antagonist suprotstavlja njegovim ciljevima. Njihov sukob često pokreće radnju. Antagonist ne mora biti zao, a prepreke mogu dolaziti i iz društva, prirode ili protagonistovih suprotstavljenih želja.
