Foil

Character Role Analysis

Eric and Tor

Time and again, Eric acts as a sacrifice while Tor, on the other hand, doesn't sacrifice anything. In fact, he doesn't care if other people die, as long as things turn out fine for him in the end. Unlike Eric, he doesn't have to make tough choices—he just presses on ruthlessly trying to get exactly what he wants. If Eric is all selfless and noble, Tor is pretty much totally selfish and wicked. Total foils.
