A foil, in the literary sense, is "a character who contrasts with another character (usually the protagonist) in order to highlight particular qualities of the other character." There are three characters in the scene: Juliet, her mother and the Nurse. Where do we have a contrast between characters? Between Mrs. Capulet and the Nurse surely.

One foil in Act 4 of Romeo and Juliet is the contrast between Juliet's desperation and Friar Laurence's calmness in their plans to fake her death. Another foil is the tension between Juliet's loyalty to Romeo and her family's expectations for her to marry Paris. These foils highlight the conflict between love and societal expectations.
