Ch. 6 - foil character
In chapter 6 Lazzaro explains to Billy and Edgar that revenge means everything to him. So when asked about if he is going to take revenge against the blue fairy godmother he replies with " Im gonna have him shot...He'll get home after the war...A couple years'll go by. And then one day there'll be a knock on his door...the stranger'll say, ' Paul Lazzaro sent me.' And he'll pull out a gun and shoot his pecker off. " (Vonnegut 140). When he is saying this, Lazzaro is looking straight at Billy. Lazzaro is foiling and ruining everything for Billy. He's the exact opposite of him. Where as Billy wants nothing more than to sleep and have peace, Lazzaro wants to take revenge on everyone and everything that ever did him any wrong.

I also noticed the contrast between Billy and Lazzaro. Also, I think Derby is a foil character because he is the opposite of Lazzaro.
