Antagonist

Character Role Analysis

Byron

When a story has a character that commits rape and treats his little sister—who also happens to be the main character—badly, it's safe to say he's the antagonist. Byron is the one who sends Virginia's life crashing down around her, and he's the one whose actions Annie has to fight against to keep from destroying her life. He's also the one all his friends ditch because he's such a git. Basically, it's hard to be more of an antagonist than Byron.
