Antagonist Socks

An antagonist is a character in a story who is presented as the chief foe of the protagonist. In the classic style of stories where the action consists of a hero fighting a villain, the two may be regarded as protagonist and antagonist, respectively. However, the villain of the story is not always the same as the antagonist, as some narratives cast the villain in the protagonist role, with the opposing hero as the antagonist. An antagonist is sometimes a neutral character who may represent a threat or obstacle to the main character by its existence, not necessarily by targeting him or her in a deliberate manner. Antagonists are conventionally presented as making moral choices less savory than those of protagonists.
