3. Character Analysis

• Eragon: The protagonist. He begins as a naive, albeit capable, farm boy. His arc focuses on the loss of innocence and the acceptance of responsibility. He struggles with the morality of killing and the burden of power.
• Saphira: Eragon’s dragon and constant companion. She is wise, protective, and possesses a telepathic bond with Eragon. Her voice acts as a conscience and a source of strength.
• Brom: The archetypal mentor figure. He is gruff, secretive, and knowledgeable. He bridges the gap between the lost era of the Riders and the current age of oppression.
• Murtagh: A complex character who serves as a foil to Eragon. He is the son of Morzan (one of the "Thirteen Forsworn" who betrayed the Riders). Unlike Eragon, Murtagh is driven by personal ethics rather than loyalty to a cause.
• Durza: The primary antagonist of the book. A Shade, he represents the twisted, corrupted use of magic, serving as a physical threat to Eragon before the overarching threat of Galbatorix is addressed directly.
