Flor And Debra's Foil
Debra's foil character may be seen as Flor because they have different objectives. Flor is kind and considerate, while Debra is rude and condescending. Some evidence from the film I could provide is Debra buying clothing for her daughter. However, these clothes did not fit.

    Foil Characters In Oscar Wao

    In the case of Díaz’s Oscar Wao, the characters learn, through the struggle of opposing masculinities, that the line between protector and predator is a tough line to walk.

For her match banquet Cassia chooses a green dress. Although Cassia chose the dress without first looking at data, it was still the dress she would most likely pick due to the information The Society had collected on her (Condie 25). Nothing is left to chance or good judgment, but rather probability and statistics. Cassia assumed that she was acting out of character by rebelling, however, the officials ran data on her showing she may have a rebellious side. These people were able to know this before Cassia herself (Condie 245). Knowing this so far in advance allowed the officials to lower Cassia’s food servings in attempts to weaken her (Condie 350) and experimented by giving her two matches (Condie 343).

With this truth set in place, it becomes evident that casting judgement upon another due to their reaction to an event is something inherently wrong. As the events that they have experienced up to that point are something that no outsider could ever comprehend. Two examples of characters who have had a series of small events compile gradually to form a major change over time are Katherine from the shakespeare play Taming of The Shrew. And Katherine from the modern interpretation…
