Protagonist as seen in Pride and Prejudeice and Hamlet

The protagonist of a story or play is,simply put, the main character of the work. It is the character on which much of the action depends. In Hamlet the eponymous character is obviously the protagonist whereas in Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth is the protagonist. These two characters share similarities and differences. A major similarity is that there is conflict involving both of them. Hamlet is trying to avenge his father while Elizabeth is trapped in dizzying love circumstances. Irregardless they both must figure out a way to resolve conflicts they find themselves within. Hamlet's soliloquies exhibit his path to resolution while Elizabeth's internal struggles and interactions with other people exhibit hers. It is clear after reading both of these works that the protagonist is what everything depends upon.
