In the novel “Oryx and Crake”, there are three protagonist; Crake, real name is called Glenn, renamed to Crake because of the game Extinctathon, Jimmy, later renamed himself to Snowman, and lastly, Oryx, was both Crake and Jimmy's lover. There are also many sub characters as well; Jimmy's parent, Crake's parent, the Crakers, CorpSeCorp.....
Firstly, Crake was Jimmy's childhood friend, they pretty much did everything together, went to school, played Games, surfed the internet. Crake was a brilliant student at school, compared to Jimmy, Crake was like a genius. After he finishes high school, he attended the prestigious WatsonCrick Institute. Crake was a smart boy, but sometimes being too smart is not always the best. He was turned from a brilliant teenager into a mad scientist, who created the Crakers and a virus that destroy the entire world.


All three of the protagonist had their own tragedy. Each of them dealt it with their own ways, and it made them strong. However, those problems were brought back up later on the story, and had been the reason of everything that happened.
