Here's why:
* The mother's actions create conflict: The mother constantly pushes her daughter to be extraordinary, even at the expense of the daughter's happiness and self-expression. She enforces her dreams onto the daughter, leading to a clash between their desires and perspectives.
* The mother's expectations cause emotional turmoil: The daughter experiences a sense of pressure, frustration, and even resentment because of her mother's relentless pursuit of achieving "prodigy" status.
* The mother's actions ultimately lead to the daughter's rebellion: The daughter rebels against her mother's expectations, ultimately choosing to embrace her own individuality and reject the pre-defined path laid out for her.
Therefore, while there's no distinct villain, the antagonist is essentially the force of the mother's expectations and the conflict it creates in the relationship between the mother and daughter.
