Leviathan Who is the antagonist in Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:48 Last updated by Jill W on 12 Aug 19:56
The "state of nature" serves as the antagonist in the book, Leviathan. Hobbes saw people as naturally selfish and prone to violence, and thus, believed that a social contract was the only way to break free .
