Comparisons of antagonist and protagonist.

Protagonist - the good character who tries to solve a crime at a race against the clock. In our thriller, "The legend of the Sphinx," the protagonist is the detective played by Henry Jones. His character is trying to discover the murderer of young girl, Aquanetta Stream. She was violently killed after not being able to answer the riddle provided by the killer. In relation to this, in the film "The Da Vinci Code" there is also a protagonist similar to ours as he is racing against the clock and is in need of finding clues leading up to the answer of his problems.


The Antagonist is the bad character, in thrillers, that normally commits a murder that the protagonist is determined to find in order to solve the crime.
In our Thriller, the antagonist is unknown throughout, this is due to the different factors that aren't easy to solve. The voice cannot be detected and the face is left unseen. Similarly, in the thriller 24, the murderer throughout the episode is not found for a few weeks. This keeps the tension high as the audience is trying to figure out the murderer themselves too.
