Consider these lines from earlier in the play. Which lines foreshadow Tybalt’s death? Check all that apply. Tybalt: Uncle, this

is a Montague, our foe; / A villain that is hither come in spite, / To scorn at our solemnity this night. Capulet: [to Tybalt] You are a saucy boy – is 't so indeed? – / This trick may chance to scathe you. Tybalt: I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall / Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall. Benvolio: Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, / Hath sent a letter to his father’s house. . . . [Romeo] will answer the letter’s master, how he dares, being dared. Mercutio: More than prince of cats, I can tell you. O! [Tybalt] is the courageous captain of compliments.

Answer:

"Capulet: [to Tybalt] You are a saucy boy - is 't so indeed? - / This trick may chance to scathe you.

Tybalt: I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall / Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall.

Benvolio: Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, / Hath sent a letter to his father's house. . . . [Romeo] will answer the letter's master, how he dares, being dared."

Explanation:

foreshadowing is a literary resource that allows the author to forward information that will happen later in the narrative, in a subjective and non-literal way, but in order to attract the reader's attention to a certain event, leaving the reader curious and anxious with the unfolding of the facts presented in the narrative. With that, the reader is stuck with the story, until discovering the moment when the advance information will happen.

In the text shown above, we can see the use of foreshadowing, to announce Tybalt's future death, through the lines:

"Capulet: [to Tybalt] You are a saucy boy - is 't so indeed? - / This trick may chance to scathe you.

Tybalt: I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall / Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall.

Benvolio: Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet, / Hath sent a letter to his father's house. . . . [Romeo] will answer the letter's master, how he dares, being dared."
