Antagonist? Protagonist? In every fictional book, there are a lot of antagonists and protagonists, but are antagonists always bad? Or are protagonists always good? I want to prove that not all antagonists are bad, and shouldn’t be hated all the time. For example, Darth Vader is a dynamic character that changes throughout the whole book. Is he always bad? No, he saved his son, whom is the protagonist of the story. The character who I want to talk about is Ava Paige. Ava Paige is a female character who is in the Maze Runner series (The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The death cure, and the fourth book is going to be published soon). She is an anti-hero that leads the group called the WICKED. The WICKED is trying to find the cure of the deadly disease that might end the human race. She is an antagonist in a book and she forces other people to do an experiment, the experiment to cure the deadly disease.
The fiction book series Maze Runner is set in the future when a lot of people have died because of the deadly disease from Sun’s radiation. Ava Paige and WICKED is trying to find the cure of this deadly disease. The WICKED decided to do a several evil experiment. These experiments have killed, and injured a lot of people and Ava Paige directed all this. By now you must have asked, “How is this woman a good antagonist? She’s really evil,” yes I

She looks at the entire human race rather than just few people. The author made us to compare her and all the other protagonists. If she is compared with other good characters, of course she is an evil character. That’s how I feel empathy to her. She is always hated by people and she knows that. She does evil experiment for human race. You can say that she could have as well just put her on an experiment. You are correct, but you forgot that she is the leader. If you were the leader you wouldn’t risk your life right? Just think about it what I
Both of these relationships are very complex so the narrative techniques help the audience grasp the impact each relationship has on both people involved. Many times throughout the book a question would pop up, “who is really at fault?” (for all the bad stuff happening). Depending on who is reading the book, they might have contradicting ideas on who is the protagonist and antagonist of the novel. Some might argue that Adora is the antagonist of the whole book as she played a major role in Camille’s cutting and Amma’s rebellious behavior.
Bradbury uses her to evoke a lot of intense thinking from both the reader and the other characters in the book and this in turn helps to develop the plot. She knows that she is considered an outcast, but she chooses to embrace it rather than to conform to the social norm. "I tell them that sometimes I just sit and think. But I don't tell them what. I've got the. Running. And sometimes, I tell them, I like to put my head back,like this, and let the rain fall into my
A villain is someone who performs evil actions that negatively affect another person. Carl Harmon in the novel Where Are the Children? by Mary Higgins Clark is indeed a villain. Carl Harmon is portrayed at first as an innocent but mysterious husband to his wife Nancy Harmon. As the book continues it is revealed that he is a manipulative and dangerous man. Carl Harmon is a villain and he has the greatest impact on the story because he creates conflict through his actions, and he provides suspense.

In life there are people that you could judge like a book, but others are morally ambiguous where you don’t know the other side to that story.In the book The Kite Runner there are many characters that are morally ambiguous which means the appear something but there a complete opposite.

First of all I think that Miss Strangeworth is the worst character of all the characters Adela, an old lady, finds pleasure in writing letters to remind people evil is everywhere (Appositive phrase). She is the reason for the whole town having problems with each other. This is because she writes letters to the town in private, discussing problems with people and what is wrong with them. This causes a lot of problems within the community and distrust, ”She had been writing her letters sometimes two or three every day for a week, sometimes no more than once a month, for the past year. She never had gotten any answers, of course, because she had never signed her name” (Jackson 194). She interferes with the community by judging people with her letters, and she even knows that this is wrong because the fact that she writes her letters in private and only sends them when it is late at night so no one can see her. That just shows that she may pretend like she does not know what she is doing, but really she does know that sending those letters is hurting the people around her, because she writes them in private, and sends them anonymously. (Jackson 186-198)
Why are people villains? Is it because of past mistakes, how they were raised or maybe it's in there blood to be a villain? The dictionary defines a villain as a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot, but others may define a villain as evil and monstrous simply by examples of the actions of the villain. Two characters are Odysseus, the most villainous in The Odyssey retold by Robin Lister, and Ursula from the film: The Little mermaid directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. When comparing these two villains, it is clear that Ursula is a much greater villain than Odysseus because of her trickery, she’s a liar, and a thief.
The antagonists are her parents Rex and Rose Mary Walls. Rex is an
What is a villain? Is it a boulder of hate in a sea of kindness, or a person whose heart and world are filled with darkness? A villain is a person who wants to hurt others or do bad things. The god of the sea, Poseidon from the Odyssey, by Homer and President Snow from the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins could both be considered villains. President Snow is a greater villain because of his cruelty, selfishness, and him being uncooperative.
As the reader is more introduced to her they can see her manipulation become more evident. “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you” (23) she tells this to the other girls. This adds a fear element as well as eludes how she can manipulate people into doing what she tells them. This helps to not only prove to the reader the truth of this theme but develop the plot and her role in the
She is the protagonist in the story. “Her short linken walkind dress was, as far as he could judge, in the height of fashion and revealing an extent of silk- clad leg as disturbing as ever.” c, Barbara. Bright Hair About the Bone. New York: Bantam Delta, 2008. This quote show that she was someone who liked to show off a bit and everyone at her college thought she was kind of a trouble maker. Her godfather was Daniel who was murdered and a year later she receives a note the day he died. Instead of wondering who killed him she wanted to find out who did it and she did. Her actions showed how much she cared about Daniel and it showed how close they were together. Her relationship with other characters is that she is very stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone if it’s not what she wants to do. She likes to succeed in everything she does even if it might be dangerous or impossible. An internal conflict is when she thinks about why there was a body in the trench out in the open where she is digging which meant they wanted her to find it as a message to her. An external conflict is when the gun is pointed towards her and she tries to make the shooter focus on her to figure4 out there scheme and figure out why they killed Daniel. In the end she is changes like becoming more in touch with her emotions. Many other characters seem to think that she is stubborn, some characters are attracted to her, others
In the Novel, she is neither portrayed as flawless heroine nor as a fallen woman. Her rebellious nature seemed to have been a byproduct of her self-centred nature which manifests in the actualization of her whims and fancies (Kelly, 2001).
