Answer:
The answer to the question: Hedda´s words here could be considered:___, would be: Foreshadowing.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author seeks to stimulate an audience´s interest in the work by giving readers small peeks into what has happened, is happening, or will happen in the future, in a story. This device is usually applied at the beginning of stories, or of chapters, precisely because they become like the small hook that invites a reader to continue reading so they can discover the full plot behind that small hint. In this case, we have Hedda, the main character of Henrik Ibsen´s play "Hedda Gabler", which was first presented in 1891. In act 4, in this particular excerpt, Hedda begins talking and making reference to an yet unknown act, a deed that according to her takes great courage, and which she considers as an act of beauty. The words used by Hedda open up the hunger of the reader to understand what is it that Hedda is hinting about, what is that deed that to someone as dark as her, would be considered beautiful and courageous. This is why this excerpt shows foreshadowing.
