The king is the antagonist because he is like the villain. He makes Hop Frog drink the wine and Hop Frog doesn't drink. He also throws wine in the girls face, which causes Hop Frog to finally get revenge on him.
I think is the antagonist because he finds humor in the pain of others and is always humiliating Hop Frog.
Poe writes the king as a fat oily man who loves physically painful 'jokes'.
