Foil means a character who has the same motif.
Both Fortinbras and Laertes had the same motif as Hamlet. E well know that every one of them has lost his father but they differ in reactions. Laertes and Fortinbras they immediately acted after they heard about the death of their fathers but Hamlet delayed this is because of his flow.
Fortinbras acted quickly to avenge his father’s death by launching a huge military conquest which was against Denmark. Fortinbras engaged in the real leadership of Norwegian armies and expanded territory in his country.
Hamlet differs from Laertes in that Hamlet is introspective and indecisive while Laertes is impulsive and rash.
Hi there!
The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales is that Chaucer criticizes the idea that forgiveness is available for purchase.
In pieces of literature, performing arts or dances, satire is a genre that is used to ridicule or shame someone through wittiness and in form of humour. Satire is usually meant to be humorous.
This can be seen in the excerpt with: “All for a penny! Out now with your purse!” <em>Chaucer expresses humorously what he thinks about churches. </em>
Hope this helps!
