Answer 1

Answer:

Ovid  foreshadows the fall of Icarus in the story Deadalus and Icarus by Elaina Curtis when Deadalus warned His son Icarus not to fly too high and not to fly too low.

Explanation:

Deadalus said to His son "Let me warn you, Icarus, to take the middle way, in case the moisture weighs down your wings, if you fly too low, or if you fly too high, the sun schorches them. Travel between the extremes. And i order you not to aim towards Bootes, the Herdsman or Helice, the Great Bear or towards the drawn Sword or Orion: take the course i show you".

The above statement by Deadalus is a good example of foreshadowing. Foresadowing lets Readers predict what will happen next.

The statement helps Readers predict what may happen next. from the warning the Readers can predict that although if Icarus does not die that He may get into trouble. Hence the essence of foreshadowing in a story.
