Answer:

<em>Light</em> and<em> weight</em>

<em />

Explanation:

Unlike the perfect rhyme, where both the consonants and vowels at the end of words rhyme completely, the slant rhyme is a type of rhyme where words end in similar, but not identical sounds.

In most cases, words that form the slant rhyme end in identical consonants and different vowels. We can notice this in the given poem as well. Words <em>light </em>and <em>weight</em> end in the same consonant (sound expressed by the combination of letters <em>ght</em>), but different vowels (sounds expressed by letters <em>i</em> and <em>ei</em>). This is why these words create a slant rhyme.

The rest of the words rhyme completely.

Foreshadowing: The Prologue states that this is the story of "star-crossed lovers." Identify another example of Foreshadowing in
Valentin [98]

Answer and Explanation:

Another example of foreshadowing in Act I of "Romeo and Juliet" takes place in Scene 4, when Romeo says,

“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 despisèd life closed in my breast

By some vile forfeit of untimely death.”

<u>What he means, simply put, is that he has a bad feeling about Capulet's party. He senses this banquet will be the start of something tragic - his own death. This premonition of the characters serves as foreshadowing for the audience. They can already infer, from this example as well as other passages, that these lovers' story will end tragically.</u>

<u>Foreshadowing is a technique used in storytelling in which a piece of information is given to the audience. Such information seems trivial at first, but later it unfolds into something more important.</u>
