I'm sorry to say, but Brent Green is not the main protagonist. He isn't the main character, which is the defining feature of a main protagonist. It is true that he turns out to be a victim/good-guy... But being "good" doesn't make someone the main protagonist. Wikipedia describes a protagonist as this:


 * A protagonist (from Ancient Greek πρωταγωνιστής (protagonistes), meaning 'player of the first part, chief actor') is the main character in any story, such as a literary work or drama.


 * The protagonist is at the center of the story, typically makes the key decisions and experiences the consequences of those decisions. The protagonist usually affects the main characters' circumstances as well, as they are often the primary actor propelling the story forward.

Brent isn't the main character, so he can't be the main protagonist. Sammy Jacobs is the protagonist because he propels the story forward. Brent is an antagonist because he initiates change in Sammy. In the end, it turns out that Sammy is the "bad-guy", but he is still the main character, and thusly the main protagonist.

Good ≠ Protagonist

Main character = Protagonist
