A foil in literature is a term used to describe a character who is both similar and very different from the protagonist, and who is there in order to highlight particular qualities of the main character.
In the play Hamlet, the protagonist, Hamlet, has several foils, including Horatio, Claudius, Laertes, and Fortinbras.

In my opinion (which may or may not differ from yours), Hamlet's main foil is Laertes. Laertes is Ophelia's brother, so Hamlet and Laertes share their love for the same woman (although not the same kind of love). They both share passion for revenge (their fathers have been murdered - Hamlet's father was killed by Claudius, and Laertes' father was killed by Hamlet). The difference between them is that Laertes is very active in trying to find his father's murderer and have his revenge, whereas Hamlet is rather passive, pondering thoroughly on his next course of action, and thus wasting time doing noting.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
