"O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, how thou art below, As one dead in the bottom of a tomb, Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale." (Act 3 Scene 5)

This quote said by Juliet is foreshadowing because she feels she will die. Even though she doesn't know it yet, she actually will kill herself. Because she sees Romeo's dead body, she decides to kill herself. She feels that she cannot live without him. If he is dead, she feels that there is no other reason to live. Their love was and always will be forbidden. In a way, that was the only way they could truly be a couple without someone trying to kill Romeo. If they hadn't killed themselves, they might still have to sneak around to see each other. Another thing that could have happened is that Juliet could have been force to marry Paris while still being married to Romeo. Lots of other things could have happened if they had stayed alive.


"I would the fool were married to her grave." (Act 3 Scene 5)

This is an example of foreshadowing because Lady Capulet had no idea that Juliet would actually commit suicide. If she had known, things could have happened differently. For example, she could have actually listened and helped Juliet when her problems. Instead, she made the nurse deal with her. Lady Capulet could have also tried talking to her husband about their daughter not getting married. Because she didn't care, she just told Juliet to go along with it. She didn't care how her daughter felt as long as her and her husband were happy. She could have had a better relationship with Juliet if she would have just listened and care about her. She let the nurse raise and care for her instead of being a mother and doing them herself.
