Sidekicks have played an integral part in literature for centuries, providing comic relief, moral grounding, contrast against the main character, narrative perspective, and much more. From Watson’s confidant Holmes to Don Quixote’s squire Sancho, sidekicks have enriched narratives and illuminated heroes in literature in thousands of stories, yet they are often overlooked.
This new addition to the Critical Insights series explores the role of sidekicks across literary and media traditions, uncovering how these underrated characters enhance narrative structure, illuminate cultural values, and offer provocative alternatives to dominant literary figures.
