Answer:

These characters, known as foil characters, are Gabriel, Lyons, and Bono. I believe the most important foil character in this play is Bono. Bono, from his very first introduction, seems to be a carbon copy of Troy. The act the same, speak the same, work the same job and enjoy the same past times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Troy criticizes Rose's enjoyment of playing numbers, a game like the lottery that Lyons also enjoys. Troy displays his sense of responsibility in his reaction to Rose's hobby, but simultaneously provides evidence of his selfish treatment of Rose.

PS: I never watch the movie so this might all be wrong
