Foil refers to a type of sword. It's the type sword used in Fencing.
Laertes is, in a way, doubly Hamlet's foil since he not only kills Hamlet (can't get more foil-ish than that!), but he does so with a foil - a fencing sword - pun intended or not.
Laertes is a foil to Hamlet. Unlike Hamlet he does not reflect upon the task at hand, which is avenging his father's murder. He does not think about whether it is morally correct to conspire with the king, Claudius, to kill Hamlet for revenge. Fortenbras could also be considered a foil to Hamlet because he is just the opposite of Hamlet when it comes to decisions and following them through. B.Gene apex ;)
I dont get it
Literary foil is when two characters are very different and their differences help characterize them.For example, Hamlet and Horatio are foils. Hamlet is very indecisive and Horatio is decisive. Horatio being indecisive helps the reader realize that Hamlet is indecisive.

Laertes is the brother of Ophelia, and a moderately important character who is a direct character foil of Hamlet. He is motivated by passion, while Hamlet is motivated by reason. He is also the son of Polonius.

In Hamlet, Hamlet's step father and uncle Claudius could be considered his rival. This is because Hamlet seems to possess the Oedipus Complex. He competes with this new father for the possession of his mother.
