The main character in a story is the protagonist. As readers we share the most empathy with this character. He/she is the one fighting for a cause in the story or movie.
The antagonist, on the other hand, is the protagonist's adversary. They are almost competing against one another. Usually they have some sort of conflict between each other.
When we think of good short storys, we know they include internal or external conflict. A great way for authors to get reader's attention is to show characters having conflicts. It makes it more interesting, because usually people can relate.
