Many screenwriting theories hold that the protagonist should be flawed at the story's beginning and overcome this flaw by its end.
Now, there are stories where the protagonist is thrown out of a seemingly normal, happy and functional life only by the intervention of the antagonist. Think of all the tales of killed or abducted wives and children.
Does the protagonist of such a story need or usually have a "flaw" beyond the desperation, hate, or guilt caused by the antagonist?
