In a comedy, a protagonist is typically portrayed as what type of character?

  1. Wise

  2. Flawed

  3. Powerful

  4. Cunning

The correct answer is: Flawed

A protagonist in a comedy is usually portrayed as flawed, rather than wise, powerful, or cunning. This is because comedies tend to have characters who embody exaggerated flaws and imperfections, and the protagonist is no exception. This allows for humorous situations and conflicts to arise, and often leads to a satisfying resolution or growth for the character by the end of the story. This type of character would not be considered wise, powerful, or cunning as those traits tend to be associated with more serious and dramatic genres.
