	Who would have thought that playing a "Name the book from the Antagonist" quiz, would have ruined "1984" for me. Here I was so excited that O'Brien was going to be a good guy...

	21/20. Decided to try for bonus answers, and was pleasantly surprised that Catch 22 was one.

	@FoxMan: I don't believe that the Wicked Witch rates as the "antagonist or villain" of Wicked, since the majority of the story is about Elphaba (the Witch) and how she came to be. She may become a villain later on, but she's not the story's antagonist or villain. (An antagonist, incidentally, is the literary character designed to be the main adversary to the protagonist. This allows a story to have a morally evil character as the protagonist and his/her morally good adversary as the antagonist. The nature of hero and villain has developed so that a hero is generally a "good" character while the villain is generally "evil" or "bad".)

	Love how you accept the Dark Tower for Randall Flagg. Great quiz!

	Absolutely awesome quiz. Really nice gamut of villains. One of the most enjoyable quizzes I've taken in a long time. @The Wicked comments Elphaba is for sure the protagonist as that is technically defined as the character that provides the driving force of the story/play/literary medium.

	The funny thing is that I probably would have gotten the "Jack Merridew" one if it had only read "Jack."

	This quiz could easily have been for me "Books Made into Movies by their Primary Antagonist or Villain" as that is how I got most of the ones I did.

	"There and Back Again" should be accepted for Smaug. Other than that a good quiz (even though I sucked at it ;).

	Why would you publicize the fact that you don't read?

	How is Peter Pan not a book?

	jaymc:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 17:59 GMT	4 points
	The novelization of the play "Peter Pan" was originally known as "Peter and Wendy"; however, it's been called "Peter Pan" in subsequent editions, so I think it's OK here. Might want to accept "Peter and Wendy" as an alternate answer, though.

	The 5 bonuses are To Kill a Mocking Bird, Catch-22, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Lord of the Rings and Percy Jackson
