The terms protagonist and antagonist were first used in 1550 by the Italian scholar Giovanni Torriano. The point of view of a story can actually be more than one – a story can switch between multiple points of view. Conflict is sometimes referred to as the ‘engine’ of a story because it is what drives the plot forward.
