The Diving Bell and the Butterfly Who is the antagonist in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 12:55 Last updated by Jill W on 22 Aug 18:30
The antagonist in the novel isn't a person, it is the stroke Jean suffers, as well as the long rehabilitation, during which time he attempts to regain his life.
