What's the difference between antihero and antagonist?

#screenwriting #filmmaking #writing

The antihero is a hero archetype whom we follow on the journey.

The antagonist has a specific provocation function - it pulls and pushes on those archetypes whom we follow on the journey.

Antagonists pull/push/provoke the antihero.

The antagonist may itself be a character whom we follow on the journey. Hence, there may be multiple antagonisms.

This is answered in more detail within the 2000+ stage Hero's Journey/Transformation/New World, which you can purchase from www.clickok.co.uk/index4.html
