Description
In drafting stories or novels, a writer always frets about the main character or protagonist. Are they complex enough? Will they change by the story’s end? Is their desire challenging enough? But main characters are only as strong as their oppositional forces, and the antagonist embodies this. In this workshop, we will discuss the complexities of the opposing force that either elevates, or brings low, your story’s main character.
