Hero vs. Villain

This worksheet helps students differentiate between a protagonist and antagonist using a comparison table. The table lists typical traits of each role, and students must decide which character in the story fits each category, using text evidence to support their choice. By categorizing the characters, students learn about opposing motivations and how conflict is structured. This worksheet introduces them to narrative roles in a clear and structured way.

This worksheet strengthens comparative analysis skills by prompting students to distinguish between protagonist and antagonist roles. It enhances critical thinking as they support their answers with evidence from the text. Understanding narrative roles promotes story comprehension and plot analysis. This activity also builds vocabulary as students describe contrasting motivations and character traits.
