The antagonist is the "bad guy," or the antithesis to the protagonist of a story. Here, the characters who impede Lord Munodi's happiness are B. the king of Laputa and the cabal of ministers.

The ministers are the ones who fired him - they are the society who are in conflict with the character of Munodi.
