The antagonist is the character who, consciously or unconsciously, plays a central role in opposing the main character's goals. In many cases, it's the villain. However, in works where the main character is evil (e.g. Poe's "Tell Tale Heart"), the antagonist might be the good guy.
So, to figure out who the antagonist is, ask, "Who is the main character?" and then "Who is the main character's opponent or foe? Who is preventing the main character from doing what he/she wants to?"
The antagonist is important because conflict fuels most plots.
