We should have to understand things which Shakespeare did not understand himself.T.S.

A foil is a excusable character who by simulations ? and differences reveals character, and who, as an element of plot, is there for the more great character to talk to (vevra sic ). Such an example is Laertes is a foil to Hamlet. SS -1 Is the ultimately sentence in this paragraph the thesis?
