In the novel "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel, the main antagonist can be interpreted as the circumstances that Pi finds himself in while stranded at sea, such as the harsh environment, hunger, and his struggle for survival. Another interpretation could be the Bengal tiger, Richard Parker, that is trapped on the lifeboat with Pi, posing a threat and challenge to his survival.

The tiger never does die, once pi and the tiger (Richard Parker) reached land, the tiger left pi and went into the jungle never to be seen again. This true for both the book and movie.
In "Life of Pi," Richard Parker, the Bengal tiger, keeps Pi alive primarily due to the instinctual relationship between predator and prey. By maintaining Pi's presence on the lifeboat, Richard Parker ensures his own survival, as Pi provides food (in the form of fish and eventually, the occasional supplies from the lifeboat). Additionally, Pi's efforts to establish dominance and create a bond with Richard Parker help to reduce the tiger's aggression, making coexistence possible. Ultimately, their interdependence becomes a crucial element of survival in their isolated environment.
