Who is the antagonist in The Enemy by Pearl S Buck?

Answer 1

As far as characters are concerned, the doctor, the pearl buyers, and the trackers are antagonists.

However, when one consideres this novella to be an allegory, the pearl itself, which is a symbol for the greed associated with material wealth, brings about many problems for Kino and his family. In this sense, the actual pearl can be considered an antagonist.

Answer 2

In "The Enemy" by Pearl S. Buck, the antagonist is Ch'en Shih-Hsin, who represents the oppressive and cruel government that values power over compassion and empathy. He serves as a counterpoint to the protagonist, Lien, and drives much of the conflict in the story.

Answer 3

You could say the trackers, or the dark figures, but the antagonist should be described as the pearl itself, and also greed and hatred.

Answer 4

An External conflict is a struggle between two opposing forces, so one example would be; Kino fights several individuals for the pearl.
