Question

Which of the following is not true of all antagonists?
A. They provide conflict.
B. They serve as opposition
C. They affect the main character
D. They are all bad people.

Answer 1

I would say D.

One reason is that not all antagonists are even people, they can be situations, dilemmas and confusions, or even a characteristic from the protagonist themself.

Also, antagonists can be people who create conflict not because they are bad people. If the protagonist is a boy who wants to be a musician, but his father pushes him to be a lawyer, the father is the antagonist, but is not a bad person.
