The _______________ is the individual who is the subject of the psychodrama

• A. director
• B. protagonist
• C. actor
• D. audience

Answer: (B)

In psychodrama, the individual whose life situation or issue is being explored is called the protagonist. This person is the central figure around whom the scene unfolds, describes the problem, and actively participates in enacting the scenarios to gain insight and working through feelings. The director guides the session, auxiliary roles are played by other group members, and the audience observes. While an actor can be anyone playing a character within the drama, they are not defined by being the subject of the therapy—that distinction belongs to the protagonist.
