MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Antagonist: an enemy, an opponent

An antagonist is usually a mirror reflected image of the main character, that is why it appears as its opposite.

  1. Protagonist: a main character, a hero, a leader.

I think the true protagonist in the Game of Thrones series is Jon Snow, because somehow you can trace every singular plotline back to him.

  1. Agony: pain, torture, anxiety

She cried in agony as her leg bended in an odd way, while performing a split.

"mirror-reflected" (hyphen, cuz it's an adjective phrase here)

her leg "bent"

Noted, thanks!

  1. His own brother acted like an antagonist in the battle field.
  2. One who stands against the corruption of the state is the protagonist.
  3. You can never feel the real agony a slave used to feel in early 1800s.

BOTH.
