HI!
You can safely argue that
the antagonist of the Giver is basically the concept of "Sameness", that is, that
collective feeling of limbo that the dystopian (at first seemingly Utopian) society
presented in the story chose to adopt in order to not suffer emotional
conflicts.
When Jonah became the new Receiver, he
discovered all the things to be learned from what society was like before Sameness took
place He realized that there is a lot to be learned from conflict and complexity, and
that there is a place for pain in one's life. Therefore, Sameness and all that it
represents, is the main antagonist which directly contradicts the role of Jonah in the
story.
