An Antagonist is a person who opposes someone or is hostile to them. In most stories, the Antagonist is the 'villain' of the plot or the person who opposes the Protagonist. In Pygmalion, there are no obvious antagonists as characters. However, society is the antagonist in this play. Society is what opposes Eliza in the course of the play. The standards set by society of what a 'lady' should be goes against how Eliza was brought up and how she dresses and her social class in general.
