Answer:
The word patriot signifies a person who loves his or her country and is ready to boldly support and defend it. That meaning has endured since the word's arrival in English in the 16th century, but it has not marched through the years unchallenged.
Ultimately derived from Greek patrios, meaning "of one’s father," patriot entered English via French patriote—meaning "fellow countryman" or "compatriot"—during a time of political unrest in western Europe that was characterized by infighting among fellow countrymen—especially among those of the Protestant and Catholic faiths. For much of the 17th century, words like good were attached to patriot to distinguish patriots who shared both a love of country and a common allegiance from those having opposing beliefs and loyalties: to be deemed a "good patriot" was to be a lover of country who agreed on political and/or religious matters with whoever was doing the deeming.
Certain characters in a story could seem one way but turn out to be different in the end. For example, a character could be nice throughout the entire story up until the turning point. This certain character could turn out to be the antagonist after all and we wouldn't suspect It or vice versa. The antagonist could turn into a protagonist towards the end. It all depends on how the character is developed and presented.
