To highlight a character's (usually the protagonist's) personality, the introduction of a foil is used. In Shakespeare's 'Hamlet', Laertes is Hamlet's foil. They were childhood friends but have completely opposite traits and behaviors: Hamlet is verbal, he ponders, and is driven by passionate inaction, Laertes is physical, blusters, and is driven by passionate action.
In Act IV, scene V, we can see Laerts personality; he bursts and needs people to calm him down, whereas Hamlet would have stayed calm and think before acting.
<span>“Through the Tunnel” is a coming-of-age story of
Jerry, who wants to do what the other grown-up men can do, and his mother,
who does not want to look too ‘possessive nor lacking in devotion’ knowing that
her son is going through adolescence. Swimming through the tunnel is Jerry’s
way to establish his identity or go through character adjustments. From the New

noted that Doris Lessing is a writer described as <span>“that
epicist of the female experience, who with skepticism, fire and visionary power…”
by the Swedish academy. Her struggle when she was 15-year-old and a runaway
from home must have also reflected the struggle of Jerry proving that he can
swim through the tunnel. </span></span>
