Actually, there is no play by Shakespeare called "A Pound of Flesh". The phrase is an important phrase in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Originally the main characters in this play were Bassanio and Portia, but as time went on, more and more big name actors wanted to play the main character in the subplot, Shylock, to the extent that Shylock is now considered to be the main character (along with Portia). The "Merchant of Venice" himself, a character called Antonio, is not the main character of the play.
A protagonist is the "hero" in a story or play. He or she is the main character, the one that the story is mainly about. He is opposed by the antagonist or "villain."

A foil is a character with qualities that are very different from the main character's. You use a foil in writing as a basis for comparison... because you are showing the opposite, the main character's qualities stand out more.
