<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.  

I got a 100 when I put this.

How are most adjectives changed into adverbs?
sveta [45]

<em>Adjectives</em> are the part of speech which qualifies the noun or pronoun. They may be placed before the qualifying word.

<u>For example,</u> this <em>cute</em> baby is eating an apple.

Whereas,<em> adverbs</em> refers to the set of words or word which qualifies the adjectives.

<u>For example,</u> the girls are speaking <em>softly</em>.

Hence, to form an adverb through adjective, they can be formed by adding –ly to the end of the word.

<u>For example,</u> they performed bad/badly in the exam

how did they perform? <em>badly</em>.

Hence, it is an adverb.
