Acts 16:25 "And at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners
heard them."
We usually write about one
protagonist, but a story often benefits from a sidekick for that protagonist. A
sidekick is someone who goes through the story issues with the protagonist,
lending support and help when needed.
The sidekick might be a
best friend or a sibling and might also offer advice or caution like a mentor
would. He might even be a source of conflict if he and the protagonist disagree
about the next step to resolving a plot problem.
Rarely is the sidekick secretly an enemy, but he could be acting like a friend just to make the protagonist’s life difficult. Or he might be an unwitting pawn used by the antagonist to bring the hero down.
