Tritagonist

In literature, the tritagonist (from Ancient Greek τριταγωνιστής (tritagōnistḗs) 'third actor') or tertiary main character is the third most important character of a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist. In ancient Greek drama, the tritagonist was the third member of the acting troupe. As a character, a tritagonist may act as the instigator or cause of the sufferings of the protagonist. Despite being the least sympathetic character of the drama, they occasion the situations by which pity and sympathy for the protagonist are excited.: 451  more »

I hadn't fallen in love with a subject painted
Until you took form one brushstroke at a time
I painted with mineral spirits and dirt, water
As varnish; I left my signature as my creation
"Romance me with iambs," you deer-panted
To be held in a trance, therefore I used romantic
Language I foreknew you'd understand
Yet you only saw me the jealous king
We expect God with an immature, superficial love
Just like ours; how can he love when he knows
Not my deepest regrets
If omniscient and if I count
My petals, will he love me still or just wilt
"Romance me with iambs," you deer-panted
To be held in a trance, therefore I used romantic
Language I foreknew you'd understand
Yet you only saw me the jealous king
You expected to remain a still life versus
My image reflected in you, jealous towards all
You thought me envious towards your identity
But jealousy was never quite your accepted reality
Because the father despises when delinquents
Wilt his daughter's love, and the husband
Abhors a rival peering with bedroom eyes
They both know to protect their lover's heart
None can love as I do. All I ever wanted
Was for all to see your beauty, yet you
Thought I wanted a trophy wife to be
My eye candy, a means to an end
I want a mother to my children
A lover to accept my grace, to turn
From two-dimensional canvas to spouse
