An antagonist can be defined as someone or something that is put in the story to oppose the protagonist or to cause problems that need to be overcome. Throughout the story, every character in one way or another causes problems, as the story emphasizes that nobody is perfect.

Chacko could also be an antagonist as he kicks Ammu out of the house which eventually results in the separation of the twins. However, one character, in particular, Baby Kochamma, in every part of the story, not only does she cause problems, she causes problems for everyone.
