The Destructors questions

1. The protagonist in the story is the entire gang, they all are out to get Mr. Thomas and his house for no reason other than to be destructive. The antagonist is the house, the innocent, old, beautiful house. The house has done nothing to the boys but the boys are out to destroy it for absolutely no reason. The house is a beautiful, kind piece of art next to carpark turned to gang territory. The conflicts in the story are the one between the gang and the house. The gang feels the house is in their way and they also want to destroy it just to get respect from the other gangs. The house is defenseless.
