antagonist
의미: A person who actively opposes or is hostile to another, or the principal opponent or villain in a narrative, conflict, or competitive situation.
Antagonist has a dual life in literary criticism and general usage. In fiction and drama, it refers to the character who opposes the protagonist, driving the central conflict. In broader usage, it describes any adversary or opponent, particularly one who provokes or sustains conflict. In pharmacology, it denotes a substance that blocks a biological receptor, though this technical sense is rarely encountered outside medicine.
