Answer: "The central character who has to overcome the main conflict in the story" ---> the protagonist
"The character who opposes the lead character and is the main source of conflict" --> the antagonist
"The character with ordinary qualities providing support to important characters" ---> the secondary character
Explanation: There are several types of characters in a story. The most important one is <u>the protagonist </u>since <u>he/she is at the center of the story</u>. In other words, <u>the protagonist is the character that makes the decisions, faces the consequences and experiences a conflict</u>. The enemy of the protagonist is the <u>antagonist</u>, who is generally identified as "the villain" since <u>he/she has bad intentions and his/her values and beliefs oppose to the ones of the main character</u>. <u>A secondary character</u>, on the other hand, <u>usually helps the protagonist</u>, reveals an important secret or allows the reader to identify the setting of the story. In that way, a secondary character <u>does not have a key role in the development of the storyline</u>.
