Question

The antagonist in the novel is: a) Mr. Freeman b) Melinda c) Heather d) Andy Evans

Answer 1

Answer: D. Andy Evans

Explanation:

The antagonist in the novel is Mr Andy Evans. The novel here is "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Andy Evans is a narcissistic senior that was in high school and who usually got his way with things either through force or through the use of charm.

When he raped Melinda at the summer party, he still continued antagonizing her and this showed that he couldn't empathize with others.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
