The purpose of an antagonist in the story is to hinder the main character(s) from achieving their goal. The antagonist does not always have to be the main villain, but just has evil intentions to the main characters. A perfect example of this (in my opinion) would be Boba Fett from<em> The Empire Strikes Back</em>, he was not the main villain, but was hired by the main villain of the original trilogy to stop the main group from achieving their goals, and did have evil intentions towards them.
The rhetorical device being used in the
sentence above is parallelism.
<span>
Parallelism uses words and phrases identical in
structure. As in the sentence, “<span>They have chained, bound, and gagged our freedom”,
uses the same form of the verb which is in past tense.</span></span>
Please attach the excerpt! I'll be happy to help! :)
Amir feels unbearable shame for mistreating Hassan. Amir feels as though Assef has been diminished by his own darkness. They were both comparable characters who just chose opposite paths, which is reminiscent of the hero/villain narrative in the movies they loved to watch. To demonstrate how Amir is developing and becoming more self-aware, Hosseini shares this dream.
