FOIL What is a FOIL in literature?

A FOIL is a person who is paired with another character to develop the other’s traits and personality by CONTRAST.

In fiction, a FOIL is a character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) in order to highlight particular qualities of the other character. A FOIL usually differs drastically. DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT

A foil is a character whose actions or beliefs contrast with those of the protagonist. In other words, the foil is a character who interferes in some way with the "hero" getting what he or she wants. Foils are often similar to the character that they are butting up against. They usually have some qualities that are the same, only from different angles. FOIL CONTINUED

FOIL in Literature What is the FIRST thing you first notice about the two characters? What OUTER characteristic is most noticeable about the two characters? What INNER characteristic is most noticeable about the two characters? What is the LAST thing that you notice about the two characters? HOW IS A FOIL IN MATH AND A FOIL IN LITERATURE THE SAME? FOIL in Math First Outer Inner Last

W HO IS THE F OIL ? Usually the foil contrasts the protagonist; however, this is not always the case. In the classic good-guy vs bad-guy scenario, both the hero and the villain can each be considered the other’s foil, in that each acts to show how the other behaves in certain situations. Sidekicks often serve as foils. They can be something that the hero or villain himself is not. For example, if the hero or villain is hotheaded, the sidekick could be calm and practical.
