History of the Antagonist

Reflection

Having explored the antagonist in horror I have found that they are often supernatural.

Horror is made up by light and dark ( Levis Strauss Binary Opposition) and the antagonist and protagonist or hero and villain (Propps Character) battle before a new equilibrium (Todorov) is restored. This blog has reminded me of the need of a strong antagonist.  

New to Media this year, I am working hard to develop my understanding of theory and this blog helped me to better understand three important theorists and how they apply their theories to the genre.
