Question

what lines are foreshadowing
I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But He, that hath the steerage of my course,
Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen.
Once again, we are focusing on the foreshadowing, in particularly in Act I.

Explain how Romeo's last dialogue in Act I, scene 4 serves as an example of foreshadowing. Quote the lines that foreshadow!!!!!!!

Answer 1

is this right

Romeo has concerns about going at all. “I fear, too early. For my mind misgives some consequence, yet hanging in the stars, shall bitterly begin this fearful date with this night’s revels and expire the term of a despised life, closed in my breast, by some vile forfeit of untimely death”. Romeo seems to imagine that by attending their enemy’s party something is about to happen that will eventually lead to his death...Which of course is true, he meets Juliet etc...

Answer 2

That's right.

Be accurate in your quotation, though. You need to put slashes wherever the lines break, like this:

"I fear, too early. For my mind misgives / some consequence, yet hanging in the stars, / shall... "

Answer 3

All happening at the Capulet ball, he thinks after meeting Juliet that something is "hanging in the stars" ( a destined thing is going to happen) with yet another reference to the stars as fate. This also is another foreshadowing of something beginning ("perhaps" them dying).
