Definition: The leading character in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text.
Example: In the "Love Song of Alfred Prufrock" the protagonist is Alfred Prufrock because that is who is telling the story and what the idea of the story is based around.
Function: A protagonist is what allows the story to happen and is as important as the six elements of plot. Without the protagonist the story would not happen because it would not revolve around anybody or anything. The function is simply to have somebody to go throughout the six elements of plot.
