Foil

Character Role Analysis

Bart and Tyro

Yes, Bart and Tyro are the protagonist and antagonist. But who says they can't also be foils? See, these two are about as different as characters come. Bart is a passive loner while Tyro is an aggressive cool-kid. And yet, as they interact more and more, through their differences it starts to become quite clear that these two just might have something pretty major in common: a world of hurt inside their hearts. Bart's lost his dad while Tyro loses his sister. Do they react to loss differently? Mostly. But that doesn't they aren't both still majorly sad inside.
