At the end of Act 1 Scene IV of Romeo and Juliet, what does Romeo tell Benvolio, foreshadowing future action in the play?

The incidence of foreshadowing is something that is
incredibly common in this excellent tragedy, as both Romeo and Juliet at various points
in the play predict tragedy is in the offing for them both. In this case, having decided
to go to the Capulet ball that night, Romeo tells Benvolio that he will go, but he fears
that events will be set in motion at this ball that will result in the loss of his life.
Note what he says to Benvolio:

readability="18">

I fear, too early; for my mind
misgives

Some consequence yet hanging in the
stars

Shall bitterly begin his fearful
date

With this night's revels and expire the
term

Of a despied life, closed in my
breast,

By some vile forfeit of untimely
death.

Note the way that this
speech makes reference to "the stars." In Elizabethan times, people felt that the
planets, or "the stars" controlled a person's fate or destiny. Thus it is that "stars"
are mentioned a lot in this play. Of course, this speech foreshadows the way that Romeo
will meet Juliet at the ball that evening and the way that the tragedy of the play will
develop as a result.
