The antagonist is the opposition working against the protagonist's goal, creating the primary conflict. They're the reason for the story, and the catalyst for your protagonist's growth. It can be a person, or a force, or a series of events, but in all stories the villain can be identified by the obstacles it puts in the hero's path.
