Antagonists and Protagonists

In a thriller there is usually an obvious protagonist and antagonist. The protagonist is usually the main character, the 'good guy' and will be most favourable by the audience and will be sympathised for, by the audience. The antagonist is the opposite to this, the 'arche-enemy' 'bad guy' type who is against the protagonist and creates obstacles or problems which the protagonist must overcome.
An example of a protagonist and an antagonist in film are Batman and the Joker.
