Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A non-critical minor character whose sole purpose is to make things harder for the Hero(es) to achieve their goal and cause complications along the way. There is no way to educate, negotiate with or otherwise talk sense to a SPBofS, and this is apparent to the audience from the moment they appear. This is often the abusive sibling or baby sitter. Can also be an uncaring government bureaucrat, the Stupid Boss, or the school principal (when not a key character in the story). A SPBofS need not be in a defined position of authority over the protagonist. Unlike The Millstone, the SPBofS is an outside obstacle, rather than a member of the protagonist's adventure troupe who inadvertently screws things up. Also, The Millstone is usually a more developed and well-rounded figure, with a backstory, etc. |
