on Fiction University:
All stories need an antagonist, but not all stories have a villain.
The word antagonist usually conjures an image of a “bad guy,” but that’s not always the case..
The antagonist in a story is simply the opposition to whatever the protagonist is trying to accomplish.

No conflict, no story. Good points here. While I love a quick read with a good villain, there’s something about an intriguing, unknown, societal antagonist that is great for long night reads.
