      Interesting question! Who do you think are some potential options for the protagonist?

    how does your opinion of the protagonist change over time as the story progresses?

      Interesting question, Wiyaduthin! A good story will certainly surprise us through the development of its protagonist--but precisely because a good story will surprise us, it is difficult to establish any set formula for how our opinion changes. What does everyone else think?

    Can the protagonist be a group of a person instead of 1 person?

    • @SWLF
      @SWLF  2 роки тому +1

      Great question, Yusuf! While there are typically only one or two protagonists in a story, there is always the possibility that a group operating together might serve as a collective protagonist. What were you thinking of here?

      @@SWLF I see. I was thinking that is it possible of to have a group of person as a protagonist, or we just can't avoid from focusing on a certain individual as a protagonist. Thank you for replying 😁

    Adora is an incredible protagonist, from that one gay cartoon I can't remember the name of. Anyways she and Catra have such a cool dynamic

      Thanks for sharing, Ashley! We're not familiar with the story--does Adora change as a result of her circumstances within the plot?

      Ha! OK, maybe one person out there cares about him. You are certainly welcome to rewrite the story with the wizard as the protagonist, though be sure to call is "The Dorothy of Kansas" if you do to confuse future readers.
