Crossroads: a sad vaudeville
are the characters protagonist?

When it comes to characters, most of the time the main character in which is spoken of most about is the main protagonist. There can also be other characters that are focused on a lot, but it is not focused on the main protagonist. Others are antagonists. If you see more than one main protagonist, than they are considered the main protagonists.
I’ve never read that, but I hoped this kinda helped!

PLATO ANSWER.. THIS IS CORRECT. The war is ruthless and took away the things most important to the identity and happiness of both men.
