Foil

Character Role Analysis

Lovers/Friends

Perhaps our favorite foil pair is Gracie Mae Still and Traynor. The two could not be more different in appearance and background, but they both have the same basic struggle: they aren't accepted for who they are. We see other foils in "Source" (Irene and Anastasia), "Fame" (Andrea Clement White vs. everybody), "A Letter of the Times, or Should This Sado-Masochism Be Saved?" (Susan Marie and Lucy), and "The Lover" (the main character and Ellis).
