A play is a series of actions. Traditionally, this is the character the audience should most identify with/want to win: antagonist a character who creates obstacles for the protagonist getting what she/he wants, and who wants something just as badly. Sometimes the antagonist has the same want: a beginning where we find out what the protagonist wants, and why he/she must have it. Linear narrative- when the telling of a story follows a straight line - beginning, middle, end.
