    I, like DPG, assumed the Baroness was human as well. There is a fundamental flaw in the concept - when the stakes are an entire race being enslaved there is very little empathy available for the mere power play of a handful of enslavers.

    I still don't see what is unique about this story that mass it more interesting than the many other rape stories in the news or in novels. Perhaps if the sexes were reversed (there are cases of male rape victims) or if the attacker is a woman as well it would stand out, and give the story a hook.

    The books have far more detail but as an online resource this provides a few good points.

    Protagonist, as defined in greek, means the primary fighter. The hero, according to ?Campbell, will face an ordeal and return with the elixir. In other words, the hero will undergo change and learn a lesson over the course of the journey.

    As there is no definitive description for either hero or protagonist, that sets them as conventions by which the industry operates, it seems that the particulars of the definitions are up to the writer at hand. Please read for yourself (as you have done in the past) and I’m sure you’ll come up with?definitions that are not far from the ones I posted.
