Re: Fatal Flaw?
I like to make them all the same character. Little trick I learned from Mr. Charlie Kaufman.
Seriously, I've heard this protagonist and main character being different people thing before, and I've never understood it. The classic example is Atticus as the protagonist and Scout as the main character. But I don't see how looking at it like that helps write the thing.
Just because we see the story from Scout's perspective doesn't mean the drama isn't driven by Atticus and his actions. Feels like arbitrary labeling, but maybe there's another way to look at it.
However, there is no world in which Gandalf = antagonist makes even a lick of sense. That's gibberish.
