Forshadowing for Romeo and Juliet

[BigWorm]

I am currently doing and essay on a popular novel by William Shakespeare. To make the story short it is about two lovers who deal with problems in their family. They hope to marry but their families are at war with each other. My part is to write up an essay on how both Romeo and Juliet forshadow about their deaths. My current school book is very hard to interpret due to the fact that its all in old english style. So I was curious as to where these two characters forshadow the most in their conversations about their deaths. If you require any further detail please feel free to ask for it and I will. Thank you for your time.:)

Try looking in a similar thread in the Shakespeare forum. And you're not doing an essay on a popular novel by William Shakespeare. He didn't write novels. Infact, the novel wasn't even invented until almost 100 years after his death. R&J is a play. And anyone who knows the play well enough to give you a specific response doesn't need a synopsis of the plot.

I know that the opening chorus gives an entire synopsis of the play, including the main characters' deaths. But there are two speeches that Juliet gives that foreshadow the death of romeo. It is just after tybalt's death when she is waiting for romeo in her bedroom and she says something to the affect for "come gentle night, come loving black-browed night give me my romeo. and when he shall die take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night." Sorry i don't have the act or scene numbers. That next morning, she says she had a vision of romeo lying at the bottom of a tomb.

Also, when romeo is talking to Mercutio before they go into the capulet masquerade, he says something about dreaming of death. this is just after the queen mab speech
