2.1 Elements of a Story - Setting and Character

Characters

Short stories are more concentrated compared to books. Only key characters will be introduced and there are usually just a handful. The important players are a protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist is the main character and their journey is the focus of the story. The antagonist is often seen as the "villain" because they work against the protagonist.
