In Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Song of Hiawatha" (1855), who is the protagonist of the poem?

  1. Mahto-Tatonka

  2. Minnehaha

  3. Hiawatha

  4. Kwasind

The correct answer is: Hiawatha

In the poem "The Song of Hiawatha", the main character and protagonist is named Hiawatha. While all of the other options are characters in the poem, they are not the main focus of the story and do not experience the same growth and development as Hiawatha. Mahto-Tatonka is Hiawatha's father, Minnehaha is his love interest, and Kwasind is his friend. However, the story is primarily about Hiawatha's journey and his accomplishments, making him the clear protagonist of the poem.
