Which term best fits a narrative where the hero is central and faces obstacles from an opposing force?

• A. Protagonist
• B. Antagonist
• C. Round
• D. Myths

Answer: (D)

Think of the main character who drives the story and faces challenges as the protagonist. This person is the hero at the center of the action, and the obstacles come from an opposing force—the antagonist. The clash between the protagonist and the antagonist is what creates the core conflict that moves the plot forward.

Myths refer to traditional stories or legends, not a term for the narrative role one character plays. Round describes a character who is well-developed and complex, not the specific role of the hero in the story. So the best fit for a narrative where the hero is central and faces obstacles from an opposing force is the protagonist.
