Multiple Protagonists
Multiple protagonists refer to a narrative structure where two or more main characters drive the story forward. Each protagonist typically has their own distinct goals, motivations, and perspectives, allowing for a richer exploration of the plot and themes. This approach can create a more complex and engaging narrative, as readers can see events unfold from different viewpoints.
In literature and film, multiple protagonists can enhance character development and deepen emotional connections. Examples include George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series and the movie Pulp Fiction. This technique can also highlight the interplay between characters, showcasing how their choices impact one another.
