Harry is a bully who makes it his mission to make Conor's life more miserable than it already is. Harry loves to torment and disturb Conor, which is seen when he pushes Conor over causing his mouth to bleed. Harry continues this for a while until he realises that Conor wants to be beaten up. This can be proven when it is said in the book that Harry tormenting him is the only normal thing that happens in his life. When people found out that Conor's mother had cancer they did not know how to approach him and ended up ignoring him. Harry was the only person who approached him without hesitation and even though Conor hated it, it was his only beacon of normalcy. After realising this, Harry makes the decision to start ignoring Conor too. We never really find out a proper reason why Harry treats Conor the way he does, all we know is that Harry was a pivotal part of Conor's character development. Conor can look back on those times and know that he learnt something from his previous pain.

Conor is the troubled protagonist of 'A Monster Calls' who, in a way is his own antagonist. At the start of the novel, we learn that Conor is extremely mature for his age. He feels a responsibility to care for his mother even though it should be the other way around. Although this seems like a good quality to have, it's preventing him from living his life as any other 13-year-old should. This especially worries his grandmother who mentions this multiple times throughout the book. However, Conor does not seem to mind because he is drowning in his own guilt. Alongside his guilt, he is also drowning in his denial. Conor refuses to believe that his mother is going to die soon, which ultimately ends up harming his mental health even further. As the book goes on, we see many people starting to try and break the truth to Conor; that his mother was going to die one way or the other. As the monster's visits start to get more intense, Conor starts to prepare himself even more for telling the truth until finally, he does. Without meaning to, Conor feels relieved when he admits what he was so guilty to feel: that he wanted everything to end. That he wanted things to get over with. That he couldn't wait for when the pain happened so he could move on. Conor's ending is unclear but we do know that no matter what happens, Conor's life will continue on, because for once he finally feels like he can survive his mother's death.
