What foreshadowing is there in Romeo and Juliet act 4?

Answer 1

According to my copy of the play, Capulet is rushing around trying to make arrangements for the wedding which he has stupidly advanced a day. He sends the Nurse off the waken Juliet as he hears Paris approaching. The Nurse actually finds Juliet in the next scene, scene 5. However all of these act and scene divisions are not in the original folio and quarto texts--they have been added in by editors, and can vary from edition to edition.

Answer 2

Juliet Act 3 Scene 5
*O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb:
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

Answer 3

My copy of the play has only 126 pages. Lesson 1: when asking questions about Shakespeare plays, do not give page numbers. Every edition of the play is different. Do not give line numbers for the same reason--they are different from book to book. It is better to ask what fate Juliet foreshadows when she says to her mother "God knows when we shall meet again", or when she says "and with some great kinsman's bone dash out my desp'rate brains." In other words, quote the line.

Answer 4

In Act 4 of Romeo and Juliet, foreshadowing is evident in Juliet's speech to Friar Laurence when she says, "If all else fail, myself have power to die." This foreshadows her ultimate fate of taking her own life in Act 5. Additionally, the tense atmosphere surrounding Juliet's fake death and the rushed preparations for her burial foreshadow the tragic events that will unfold in the final act.
