An example of a very effective villain who stands against the protagonists is Count Olaf from the book series <em>A Series of Unfortunate Events</em>. This series follows the life of the Baudelaire orphans. After both their parents die in a fire, they are sent to their new guardian, a man named Count Olaf. However, Olaf has no interest in caring for them. In fact, he only wants to take advantage of them in order to get their fortune.
The reason why Count Olaf is a good villain is because he contrasts the heroes in several ways. For example, while the heroes care about their family and friends deeply, Count Olaf is selfish and only cares about himself. This is demonstrated by the fact that Count Olaf does not have friends. He only has henchmen. Another reason is the fact that Count Olaf cares a lot about money, while money is not an important concern to the orphan children. Finally, Count Olaf is willing to commit terrible crimes and deeds in order to achieve what he wants, while the children are moral and responsible.
In conclusion, Count Olaf is a remarkable villain because he contrasts with the heroes, who are the Baudelaire orphans. Some of the ways in which he does so is by caring about himself and money more than he cares about anything else, as well as having very loose morals.
The correct answer is B. A major character plays a big role in the plot, while a minor character has a less important storyline.
Explanation:
In literature, a character refers to any person or even animal or entity that is part of a story in novels, short stories, and other narratives. Additionally, characters can be classified according to their role in the development of the plot and their features; in general terms, characters can be major or minor. Major characters are three-dimensional characters or complex ones including the protagonist of the story and other characters important character in which the story focus and who play an important role as their actions developed the plot. On the other hand, minor characters are only defined through a few features and mainly support the actions of major characters or serve as background or scenario in the story. This means, opposite to major characters minor characters do not have an important necessary role in the plot or story. Thus, the main difference between major a minor characters is that major characters play a big role in the plot as their actions developed it and they are the focus of the story, while minor characters have a less important storyline as they just support the actions in the story but do not develop the plot or change during it.
