Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His exact birth date was never documented but he was baptized on December 17, 1770. Because of this, his birth date is registered someday of December 1770. His father, Johann van Beethoven, taught his prodigious son how to play the very difficult violin and also the piano. His father constantly drank with his friends through the late hours of the night but what's a party without music right? Unfortunately for young Ludwig, Johann, his father, thought the same so he would wake his son in the middle of the night to have him play for him and his friends. if the little boy would oppose, he'd be beaten. After some time, everybody would admire the young boys talent so at his teen years (17-20) he left his hometown to seek teachings from the amazing Wolfgang Mozart. He couldn't make the trip because he had to care for his sick mother and had to wait until 1792, after Mozart's death, to leave to Vienna, Austria. In his early years at Vienna he started to lose his hearing becoming completely deaf in 1816. He lived in Vienna, Austria until his death in 1827, before his death he became the first ever musician to be paid enough money to live off his music.
Your answer would be the last one: Appeal to emotions by varying the tone and pitch of their voices.
A foil is the near complete opposite of the main character (whichever character they want you to find a foil for).
Rainsford and Whitney were good hunting friends with numerous similar interests. They could not be foils because of how close in similarity they were. Even when they disagreed on how animals felt about being hunted, Whitney seemed open to and intrigued by Rainsford's points and way of thinking.
Ivan is a near irrelevant character, being a mere Cossack who follows whatever General Zaroff says. He is mindless and has almost zero traits to even compare to Rainsford, let alone any traits aside from a mindless follower to begin with.
The answer would be General Zaroff. This is almost like the cliche protagonist vs antagonist foil. Both of them are hunters, but different kinds. Zaroff got bored with animals and wanted to hunt human people instead, whereas Rainsford had enjoyed the thrill of an animal hunt and thinks that the hunting of people is murder. Zaroff is more heartless and cold, a killer, if you will. Rainsford seems to think highly of actual people, and had no interest in playing Zaroff's game.
