<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.

Which feature most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an old English poem ?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference text, here is the text:

Read the passage from "A Shield."

A lonely warrior,I am wounded with iron,

Scarred with sword-points,sated with battle-play,

Weary of weapons.I have witnessed much fighting,

Much stubborn strife.

First of all, we need to take in consideration that alliteration is the principal literary device Old English poetry to bind the words, this lines have several examples of this technique such as "wounded with" or "stubborn strife", the other options are not as representative of old English poetry as this literary device.
