👉 A panatrope is a type of literary device used in literature, especially in poetry and prose. It refers to a story or poem that alternates between two main characters, each with their own set of characteristics and thoughts. The protagonist, often referred to as the "hero," usually has a more prominent role than the antagonist, who may have less influence on the plot. In panatrope, the hero is typically portrayed as being stronger, braver, or more intelligent than his antagonist.
