In Act 3, Scene 5 of "Macbeth," Hecate foreshadows Macbeth's downfall by warning that he should be “charmed by fairness,” indicating that appearances can be deceptive and that he will be led astray by false promises. This suggests that Macbeth's overconfidence and blind trust in others will ultimately contribute to his downfall.

The excerpt "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." best infers Fortunato's downfall as it symbolizes his arrogance being crushed by the narrator's revenge.

The excerpt where the author describes how the main character in "Once Upon a Time" purchases dragon's teeth from a market stall and is warned they come with a cautionary tale foreshadows the symbolic meaning of the teeth.

This sets the stage for the escalating events that occur as the family's attempts to protect themselves eventually lead to their downfall.

The dominant moral of the Monk's Tale can be summarized by the phrase "pride comes before a fall." This is evident throughout the tale as each character's downfall is attributed to their excessive pride and arrogance.
