Matt is writing a literary analysis essay on Shakespeare’s use of foreshadowing in act I, scene I, of Richard III. Which lines i

n this excerpt from that scene can he use as textual evidence in his essay?
RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): We are the queen's abjects, and must obey.
Brother, farewell: I will unto the king;
And whatsoever you will employ me in,
Were it to call King Edward's widow sister,
I will perform it to enfranchise you.
Meantime, this deep disgrace in brotherhood
Touches me deeper than you can imagine.

GEORGE PLANTAGENET (Duke of Clarence): I know it pleaseth neither of us well.

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Well, your imprisonment shall not be long;
Meantime, have patience.

GEORGE PLANTAGENET (Duke of Clarence): I must perforce. Farewell.

(Exeunt CLARENCE, BRAKENBURY, and Guard)

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return.
Simple, plain Clarence! I do love thee so,
That I will shortly send thy soul to heaven,
If heaven will take the present at our hands.
But who comes here? the new-deliver'd Hastings?

(Enter HASTINGS)

LORD HASTINGS: Good time of day unto my gracious lord!

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): As much unto my good lord chamberlain!
Well are you welcome to the open air.
How hath your lordship brook'd imprisonment?

Foreshadowing means having an indication of a future event. To foreshadow is to signify, or be warned of a future event.

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return.
Simple, plain Clarence! I do love thee so,
That I will shortly send thy soul to heaven,
If heaven will take the present at our hands.
<span>But who comes here? the new-deliver'd Hastings?
</span>
This text implies that Clarence will face death and that Richard will be the one to send him to die.

Foreshadowing points to an upcoming event in the story. Shakespeare used the literarcy technique in many of his plays. The following lines can be used as evidence:

RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Go, tread the path that thou shalt ne'er return.

Simple, plain Clarence! I do love thee so,

That I will shortly send thy soul to heaven,

If heaven will take the present at our hands.

But who comes here? the new-deliver'd Hastings?

The lines show that Richard is going to kill Clarence. While he was thinking about it, Hastings enters the room. Shakespeare's usage of foreshadowing comes to light at this point that there is going to be something between Richard and Clarence.

What is the cultural background of the protagonist in condensed milk
yulyashka [42]

In "Condensed Milk," nothing is mentioned about the protagonist's cultural upbringing. There was no justification for us politicals to be there, he says, referring to himself and other convicts as "politicals." This most likely indicates that the main character is a well-educated individual who may be a writer or journalist whose opinions and output were seen negatively by the Russian government. A backdrop like this aids the protagonist in comprehending how the camp actually functions. He is aware that the invitation to flee is a trick. He is clever and sly enough to cut off the agreement after obtaining some condensed milk. He makes advantage of his knowledge to extend his life a little. The short tale "Condensed Milk" was written by Varlam Shalamov in Russia (1907-1982). Based on the author's experiences as a prisoner in a Gulag, or forced labor camp, it was written. The protagonist's identity and background are kept a secret. For instance, he is not a member of the same organization as the thieves. His arrest for "political" activity raises questions about his history. He is most likely well-educated, which makes it possible for the government to view him as a danger because he has the freedom to voice his own thoughts. In summary, the "Condensed Milk" protagonist uses his knowledge and intelligence to stay alive.
