Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A foil is a person who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) in order to highlight various features of the main character''s personality: to throw the character of the protagonist into sharper focus. A foil''s complementary role may be emphasized by physical characteristics. A foil is usually the antagonist. For example in Cervantes'' Don Quixote, the dreamy and impractical Quixote is thin in contrast to his companion, the realistic and practical Sancho Panza, who is fat. Another popular fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, is tall and lean; his right-hand man Doctor Watson, meanwhile, is often described as "middle-sized, strongly built". The "straight man" in a comedy duo is a comic foil. While the straight man portrays a reasonable and serious character, the other portrays a funny, dumb, or simply unorthodox one.
