PROTAGONIST
The protagonist of the story is Quentin Jacobsen. (His friend's call him Q)
Quentin Jacobsen is considered a "Geek" in high school. Coincidentally, he is in love with the most beautiful, popular girl in school Margo Roth Spiegelman. Quentin is an A+ student, who has 2 friends, Ben Starling and Radar.
The reason Quentin is the Protagonist is because Margo left behind a trail of clues for Quentin and he's solving them. The reason he's solving them is because nobody has ever solved her clues she's left behind when she ran away. But no matter what clue or event Margo throws at him to solve he doesn't give up.
Antagonist
The antagonist of the story Paper Towns is, Margo Roth Spiegelman. The reasoning behind this is, Margo ran away 2 weeks before school was out. The night before, she spent the whole night with Quentin on a crazy adventure. But the next day, she had left town. Margo leaving caused Quentin a ton of grief because of the fact that he's in love with her. He desperately goes over every single clue she's given him. But doing this before school is out is causing him to almost fail. He is having trouble finding the clues after the ones he's found. Quentin takes the clues and looks into them so deeply before he realizes the answers are right in front of him.
My favorite character is Margo, because as Quentin says, "She loved mysteries so much that she became one." (Green)
She's such a mysterious character and you only find out who she actually is as a person when Quentin finds these clues and examines them. And finds clues Margo didn't intend on giving.
Radar - One of Quentin's best friends. Runs a website called Omnictionary, which he edits daily. (The website provides a ton of information) He has a girlfriend named Angela, and his parents collect black Santa clause ornaments/items.
Ben - He tries really hard to get a girlfriend, and eventually ends up dating Lacey one of Margo's friend who made up a rumor about Ben when they had been younger.
Lacey - One of Margo's friends whom Margo had thought lied to her. Becomes a big role in finding Margo.
