Mary E. Knippel and I (Teresa LeYung-Ryan) presented a 45-minute session “Be Your Own Editor: Inject Your Manuscript with the 5 Ws and Core Themes” at last weekend’s San Francisco Writers Conference.
The first W (“Who”) – as in “Who is the Protagonist?” And, “Who or what is the Antagonist?”
Who or What is the Antagonist in Your Story / Novel / Memoir / Book ?
For every Protagonist, there’s an Antagonist!
Antagonist is a character or a set of circumstances that threatens the Protagonist’s well-being OR the well-being of someone the Protagonist cares about.
Other powerful Antagonists are:
- the Protagonist’s reaction to circumstances
- the Protagonist’s own character flaw
- something that threatens the status quo
- illness or grief (including loss of an aspect of One’s self)
This is how screenwriter/screenwriting teacher Terrel Seltzer defines “what” is a great story. She says: “Someone we care about … wants something badly… and is having a terrible time getting it.”
Coach Teresa here . . . “The Antagonist is the one who/which is causing ‘a terrible time’ for the Protagonist.”
Go through your manuscript; are you showing at least one of the antagonists within the first 5 pages?
Happy re-writing!
