Same here.
Same here.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I'm not so sure about that. However, my blessing if y'all prefer to move him, instead; I have not nominated any Best Protagonist.

Ladies and gentlemen who nominated or seconded Marinville and/or David Carver: who do you consider the Protagonist of Desperation? Can either of these nominations be moved to Protagonist? Or maybe a collective Protagonist should be considered, as we did in the case of It?

I could support that. I think it would be a real honor to David to be nominated for Protagonist, and I hate to be petty in this game, where the real point is to have fun. I'm just concerned for all of us to fully appreciate the book.Originally Posted by Jean
Every good story involves some form of conflict. As I see it, a protagonist is the character in a given story who overcomes its main obstacles.
IMO, in DesperationSpoiler:
Cuthbert fourth
Would Red (Shawshank) be considered the protagonist or would that be Andy? Since the story is told by Red, I'm guessing that Andy would be the secondary character, thus leading me to cast my vote for him.
I'll fifth Cuthbert
I'll fifth Wireman
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
I don't think that's a rule at all. Narrator doesn't have to be the protagonist. Such conventions of form are mostly separate matters.
hmmm... good question
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.

For what its worth, I see the protagonist is the character that meets with, struggles with, and overcomes adversity/antagonists.
Thus I see it as follows:
Andy: major protagonist
Red: Minor protagonist
Warden: Major Antagonist
Hadley: Minor antagonist
Bogs: Minor antagonist
