Answer:

In short words, the antagonist is the villain.

Step-by-step explanation:

A more in depth answer: The antagonist is the person/ obstacle who tries to stop the protagonist (or hero) from achieving their goal (or what they have to do). An example of an antagonist would be Darth Vader in the Star Wars series. I hope this helps! :) Have a great day ^^
