In "Romeo and Juliet," Mercutio's curse is an example of foreshadowing in the following sense:

B. It predicts the eventual pain the families will endure.

In the famous tragic play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, Mercutio is a good friend of Romeo's.

At a certain point, Mercutio puts a curse on both the families of Romeo and Juliet, the Montagues and the Capulets.

That curse serves as foreshadowing, which is a technique in which information is revealed that will later unfold into an important event in the story.

In this case, Mercutio's curse reveals that both families will suffer. The reason for their pain will be the death of both Romeo and Juliet.

They will both kill themselves as they are not allowed by their families to be together.
