Protagonist

Character Role Analysis

Colin

Colin doesn't quite fit the mold when it comes to a brooding masculine protagonist. He's a dufus when it comes to any kind of social interaction; he can't seem to keep a girlfriend no matter how bad he tries; and he's always a fountain of information that no one wants. Despite all his nerdy ways, Colin is our main dude, and we get an inside look at most of his thoughts and reactions to stuff. Plus, he's who we follow throughout the story, and who we root for to get the girl—as long as her name isn't Katherine.
