In the book Romeo and Juliet by William shake sphere, there is foreshadowing throughout the whole entire book. The main thing that is being foreshadowing is the death of the charters. Including death by objects, thoughts of death, and death of people. Shakespeare seems to give hints throughout the book about what what will happen during the book, many movies, and books do this.
Death by objects is a small theme in the book about death. ”oh tell me friar, tell me, in what part of this anatomy doth my name ledge? Tell me, that I may sack the hateful mansion” (3.3 Romeo) This foreshadows that Romeo is going to die by a vile of a person. “and with this knife, ill help it presently god joined me heart and Romeo’s, they our hands” (4.1 Juliet) Juliet just foreshadowed what she uses to end her life with. Not only is death by objects, but also thoughts about death.
Thoughts of death is another theme of death. When Juliet said “go ask his name; it he be married my glove is like to be my wedding bed” (1.5 Juliet) she is basically foreshadowing that her wedding bed will be the floor of her grave. In the balcony scene, when Juliet expresses her fear for Romeo's safety, Romeo replies that it's ok if her kinsmen find him, because his "life were better ended by their hate, / Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love" (2.2.77-78). In other words, he'd much rather have hr love and die on the spot, than not have her love and die later. As it turns out, he does get her love, and dies for it, too. “the earth that’s natures mother is her tomb what is her burring grave: that is her womb”(2.3 friar Laurence). Friar Laurence foreshadow, is where Romeo and Juliet will die. Death has more themes, includes death with peoples.

Death with people is a weird theme, “I dreamt my lady came and found me dead, and breathed such life with kisses in my lips that I reviewed and was emperor. (5.1 Romeo). Romeo just foreshadowed how the book ends. “give me my Romeo, and when I shall die, take him out and cut him into little stars, and he will make the face of the heaven so fine”(3.2 Juliet) She says she would die without Romeo. Witch foreshadows the end of book again. Juliet, looking down at him, says "Me thinks 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" (3.5.55-57). Again Romeo tries to reassure her, but later in the play, they only see each other when they are dead.
The secrets of Romeo and Juliet id the fact that there is foreshadowing of death throughout the whole book. About death from people, objects, and thoughts foreshadowing how people die. Death is one of the many themes in Romeo and Juliet.
