Blog 3...Foil Characters

Foil characters also play a role in the novel. Henry Clerval, a friend of Victor who is also studying at the university, serves as a foil to Victor. Henry is a reminder of Victor's past-of his family and friends back at Geneva. Unlike Victor, Henry is not filled with secrecy. Henry's good health has to nurse Victor back to health after he falls ill. Henry shows that Victor Frankenstein is not a normal man.
