Question

In the story Rikki Tikki Tavi how is Rikki the Protagonist?

Answer 1

He saves teddy's family and the garden by killing both Nag, Nagaina, and kurate

Answer 2

Rikki Tikki Tavi is the protagonist as he is the main character and hero of his story. He is the one that drives the action (ie, gets in 'trouble' and kills the snakes). The cobra's would be antagonist and the family would be supporting characters, but not the protagonist.
