What Is a Foil Character?

Have you ever noticed the protagonist and antagonist of a story are oftentimes opposites? This didn’t just happen by chance. In fact, the antagonist and protagonist are foil characters. These are characters with contrasting personalities or traits. For example, if one character is outgoing, their foil character might be shy. If one character is a hero, their foil character might be a villain.

While an antagonist and protagonist can be foil characters, so can a sidekick. Think about George and Lennie in Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. These best friends are full of opposite traits. Where George is sharp-witted and small, Lennie is large and muscular with a developmental disability. Lennie is quick-tempered, and George is friendly. These two characters are perfect foils.
