<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>

In Act I, Scene 4, Benvolio suggests that Romeo accompany him to a mosque in order to forget about his lost love, Rosaline. They are held back by Mercutio's monologue on Queen Mab, and Benvolio worries that they will be too late. But Romeo remarks with a powerful insight: 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.

These lines are pregnant with foreshadowing.

Romeo fears that he is too early, sensing that he should not meet anyone. His meeting with Juliet is exactly "too early" as had he waited, Juliet may have been engaged to Paris.

"Some consequence" does, indeed, begin this night; he meets Juliet, and as a consequence of seeing and talking with her, Romeo falls in love.

The mention of "in the stars" alludes to the Prologue in which the lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are referred to as "star-crossed lovers," meaning that they are fated. So, Romeo senses that fate will play a role in his life this night as it makes its "fearful date."

"expire the term/of this despised life" foreshadows Romeo's feelings of agony in Act V, Scene 2, as he feels that he is "life-weary" and purchases poison, so he can join Juliet in her tomb.

"untimely death" presages what occurs for both Romeo and Juliet.

What is the host’s likely purpose for beginning the interview segment in this way? TEACHING SHAKESPEARE IN A MAXIMUM SECURITY PR
Ierofanga [76]
<span>C) By bringing to mind more common associations with Shakespeare, the host is emphasizing the remarkableness of Bates’ story.

The host points out common situations where people would have interacted with Shakespeare--in school or in fancy theatres. This helps make what Bates has done stand out as even more remarkable, because no one would ever think of prisons when they first think of Shakespeare. </span>
