Elements of Story

A protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel or any other story. A protagonist is sometimes called a “hero” by the audience or readers.

The antagonist is the opposing force that brings conflict and is instrumental in the development of the protagonist, or main character. Every good story should have an antagonist.

The setting of a piece of literature is the time and place in which the story takes place.

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or a chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story.

In literature, a conflict is a literary element that involves a struggle between two opposing forces usually a protagonist and an antagonist.
