refimprove date February 2010 In fiction , a false protagonist is a literary technique , often used to make the plot more jarring or more memorable by fooling the audience s preconceptions, that constructs a character who the audience assumes is the protagonist but is later revealed not to be.

The death of the character assumed to be the protagonist takes the audience completely by surprise and builds the villain Bates up to be far more fearsome and frightening. Hitchcock felt that the opening scenes with Leigh as the false protagonist were so important to the film that when it was released in theaters, he compelled theater ... a reliable source saying the character is a false protagonist will be deleted.
