'''The Antagonist''' is completely and totally dependent on [[The Protagonist]] for its existence. This is because he or she exists for the purpose of opposing the efforts of the Protagonist. They don't have to be a [[Big Bad]], an [[Anti-Villain]], or even morally objectionable in any sense (though they often [[Villain Antagonist|are]]); they merely have to oppose [[The Protagonist]]. The Antagonist usually provides the conflict and thus the story. Because of this, '''The Antagonist''' is about as [[Omnipresent Tropes|Omnipresent]] as [[The Protagonist]], though there are stories that have [[No Antagonist]]. |
