	Protagonist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The protagonist is the central figure of a story, and is often referred to as a story's main character.
		Often the story is told from the protagonist's point of view; even when not in first-person narrative, the protagonist's attitudes and actions are made clear to the reader or listener to a larger extent than for any other character.
		The protagonist is often faced with a "foil"; that is, a character known as the antagonist who most represents or creates obstacles that the protagonist must overcome.

		In 'Murder in Blue', for example, the protagonist, Doolin, is a young man retained as a bizarre kind of showman to organise a violent entertainment for a dying villain.

	False memories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		False memories, like perceptual illusions, may be so compelling that they are indistinguishable from memories that are historically accurate (Payne, Neuschatz, and Lampinen, 1997).
		We have used the term “false memories” throughout this article to be consistent with the literature that suggested the present procedures.
		Researchers of false memories have been able to induce false memories of events that could be independently verified as having never happened (Loftus, 1997b), but such verification would be difficult or impossible to achieve for events that might involve any thought, feeling, or action that an individual might ever have had regarding a social group.

		Sometimes the audience is ahead of the Protagonist in anticipating the consequences of his course of action.

		These results are discussed in relation to the use of false belief tasks as a measure of theory of mind, and potential reasons underlying children’s failure on such tasks.

		However, the fate of the protagonist in a dystopian depiction usually differs from the conventional hero’s: he, because it is usually not a she, almost invariably has to face Pyrrhic victory or utter defeat.
		Without a replicant protagonist, replicants can more easily be dismissed as monsters; after all, it is a basic mechanism in fiction that the audience cannot dismiss the protagonist as easily as other characters.
		A common objection to a replicant protagonist is that the movie loses an important contrast: the human nature of replicants cannot be expressed, as there is no prominent human character to compare them with.

		The misconceptions and false impressions learned in the science classroom are rarely corrected in later years and resurface frequently in the "evolution model", which is creationism's misrepresentation of evolution.
		This engenders the false impression, which creationism tries to exploit to the fullest, that there is no evidence for evolution.

		He notes that the difficulty of the art of astrological prediction has made critics believe it to be useless, and he argues in favor of its helpfulness and usefulness.
		In response to the critics, he suggests that they do not have first hand knowledge and that if they encountered false predictions, the fault lies with the fraudulent pretenders to astrology and not with the science itself (1.3.6-8).
