Foil

Character Role Analysis

Will Grayson, will grayson, and Tiny Cooper

Tiny is busy in this book, right? He's an antagonist, he's a guide, and he is also a foil for both main characters in this story. Where the two Will Graysons are quiet and reserved, Tiny is loud and overbearing. He has unshakable confidence that the other two just can't muster. He's also not doing too badly in the romance department either, which both Wills need lots of help with. In the end, it's Tiny's differences that inspire both Will and will to grow and change. See? They really do appreciate you, Tiny Cooper.
