Characters that appeal to teens… Protagonists, antagonists and antiheroes

Characters – why are they so important? Without great characters it is impossible for an author to create a riveting story that will leave an impression upon the audience. Through the characters authors can: Invite understanding, affection, distrust or even repulsion from their readers in response to the characters in the story. Character TYPES used to channel these responses include  Protagonists  Antagonists  antiheroes

The Protagonist  Is the main or central character in a fiction text  Most of the plotline focusses on the thoughts, actions and reactions of this character. As the reader is exposed to the inner world of the protagonist, they usually SYMPATHISE with them.  Is often faced with an important decision to make – a personal dilemma or an outside conflict  Usually solves the problem by going through a learning process to resolve the issue



The Antagonist  Is the character who opposes the protagonist  It is usually the enemy or the rival  In teen fiction, the protagonist usually has to win a conflict to learn a valuable lesson and grow up by the end of the story



The Antihero  Not all teen texts involve simple representations of good verses evil or use typical stereotyped teens.  Some stories have complex and realistic representations of teens that usually exhibit positive and negative personality traits.  These representations of teens are called the antihero.
