The protagonist is NOT the hero. For example, in many of Poe's writings, the protagonist is actually the villain. Protagonist simply means the character that the story or plot line is centered around. The antagonist is the figure that opposes the protagonist, meaning the antagonist could be the hero.

A protagonist is a character in a story that is trying to resolve the problem at hand. An antagonist is the character that tries to cause the problem (eg. Batman would be a protagonist, Joker would be an antagonist.) I hope that helped you.

In a novel or even a short story, the protagonist is the main character, the one doing the action in the story.

A protagonist is usually the person who gets the ball rolling in a story. One way to think about the protagonist is to think of him/her as the hero. The opposite of the protagonist is the antagonist, who gets in the protagonist's way. Think of the antagonist as the villain.

Put simply: The protagonist is just the good guy (or girl) in a story.
The answer above is also partly true; sometimes it is a little more complicated than just good guy/bad guy, but considering you're 13 years old, it's probably easiest to think about this way.

A protagonist is almost always "the good guy." For instance, in the "Lord of the Rings" films, Frodo was the protagonist.

A major character in a story. If the tale is good guys vs. bad guys, the protagonist is a good guy; the bad guy(s) are antagonists.
