The passings of Romeo and Juliet are the most intensely foreshadowed occasions in any of Shakespeare's plays. We discover that the darlings will bite the dust in the Prologue: "“A pair of star-crossed lovers…Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife” (1.1..). The Nurse remembers that Juliet’s childhood was full of unlucky omens: there was an earthquake the day Juliet was weaned, and when she learned to walk she “broke her brow” (1.3.). Romeo predicts that going to the Capulets’ ball will have “some consequence” that will end in “untimely death" (1.4.). The two darlings declare to Friar Lawrence that they will end it all in the event that they can't be as one. Romeo says "Come, death, and welcome. Juliet wills it so." Juliet has a dream of Romeo "As one dead in the base of a tomb" (3.5). This overwhelming foretelling of the darlings' demises accentuates that they are caught by their destinies. Hinting additionally has the impact of causing Romeo and Juliet's affection to appear to be all the more valuable. Since the group of spectators can see that the darlings won't have long together, we are increasingly moved by the upbeat minutes they do have.
