Mini lesson on foils:
A foil is a character who serves by contrast to highlight the opposing qualities in another character. For example, in Harry Potter, Malfoy serves as a foil to Harry Potter; while Malfoy is a bully who manipulates and hurts others, Harry is a hero who selflessly saves and protects others. They both, however, are able to using magic in cunning and powerful ways.
4.3: How does Macduff serve as a foil to Macbeth?
