Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife, No sudden mean of death but 'banished' to kill me? What literary device is this?

a) Metaphor

b) Simile

c) Foreshadowing

d) Juxtaposition

e) Pun

c) foreshadowing

Explanation:

This quote is from Romeo and Juliet, one of Shakespeare's tragedies. It comes from the middle-ish (act 3, scene 3, of a 5-act play). In it, Romeo asks Friar Lawrence if the latter has any way to kill himself like poison or a knife.

This is a clear foreshadowing of the end of the play, wherein both lovers die by these selfsame means. Juliet pretends to die, then Romeo, believing her dead, takes poison. In her grief, Juliet stabs herself.
