After more than ten years of reading manuscripts and writing reports on them, I have noticed that passivity was overwhelmingly the commonest feature of the protagonist.
Often, the protagonist had no goal. But even when they did have a goal, they did nothing to try and get it.

In every fictional narrative the main character faces at least one external antagonist. This player blocks the main character’s efforts to get what they want. But in many narratives the main character is blocked by another kind of antagonist. This antagonist comes from inside and is the internal antagonist.

An antagonist is a broader and more complex idea than a villain. A villain acts for purely selfish reasons and does destructive things with no consideration for the effect they will have on others. A villain is wicked. A villain is unable to change and grow. An antagonist, on the other hand, is a character who pursues a certain goal in the story.
