About This Quote

The protagonist of a story is not only the star of the story, he or she also has a lot of supporting cast. The secondary characters are necessary for the protagonist to succeed in the story. Without them, it would be hard for the protagonist to overcome the villain and save his or her love interest. In literary terms, they are there to help drive the plot. They might be minor characters in the beginning of the story, but later on they play a major role in the development of the plot and how the story ends.
