 Character foil – a character whose personality or attitude is in sharp contrast to those of another character in the same play or novel. By using a foil, Shakespeare highlights the other character’s traits or attitude in contrast. For example, Tybalt is angry and hot-blooded. His foil is Benvolio who is thoughtful and peaceful. “TYBALT: What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?... BENVOLIO: I do but keep the peace” (I, i, 69-71).  Tybalt- Juliet’s cousinBenvolio-Romeo’s cousin

 Example-  Mercutio: “Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word/One nickname for her purblind son and heir/Young Adam Cupid, he that shot so trim/When King Cophetua loved the beggar maid” (II, I, 13-16).  Do you see the words in bold? They are allusions.  VenusCophetua and maidCupid

 A speech given by ONE characterSpeech given by ONE character  ALONE on stage. often to a crowd. Not dialogue.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO COPY WHOLE SPEECH. COPY BEGINNING AND END AND SHOW MISSING WORDS WITH...

 But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? When spoken it looks like this: "But SOFT what LIGHT through YONder WINdow BREAKS?" Separated into feet it looks like: "But SOFT | what LIGHT| through YON|der WIN| dow BREAKS|?  Count the syllables. Are there ten? Are there five pairs of unstressed/stressed?"
