Any good story recs where the Protagonist shifts into the Antagonist over time?
I’m looking for any stories that involve a protagonist becoming the antagonist and the antagonist becoming the protagonist. I’m looking more for Fantasy or SciFi. Preferably a series.
I’m not talking like a standalone story that has a climactic ending that causes one character to make a moral decision that changes your outlook of the characters. I’m talking like a story that follows the two characters possibly from an origins standpoint where we actually have defined roles of this character being the protagonist. One where we actually follow whole stories or books where this character is firmly supplanted as our Protagonist and then by the end of the series he has actually become the Antagonist of the global overarching saga. Like if you could imagine that the Star Wars movies were actually released with a chronological timeline. We would begin with Anakin as our hero and then obviously we know where that ends. But I don’t want it to be told non linearly. I want to see examples of the transformation done well over time throughout a series.
Any examples of this?
