Which of the following lines foreshadows Romeo's tragic end?

A. What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.

B. But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.

C. 'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone: And yet no further than a wanton's bird; Who lets it hop a little from her hand, Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves, And with a silk thread plucks it back again, So loving-jealous of his liberty.

D. O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, As one dead in the bottom of a tom Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

Juliet says this line as she is watching Romeo leave after their wedding night. She literally says that she feels as though she sees him lying dead in the bottom of a tomb. She describes him as looking pale. The next time Juliet sees Romeo, he is dead and in a tomb. He isn't too pale though since he only just died. This line of hers foreshadows his death. However, we've known since the prologue he was going to die. What's interesting in this play is that Shakespeare constantly reminds the audience through the characters' dialogue that Romeo and Juliet are going to die. However, many people feel that maybe, just maybe, their book will end a bit differently with the two lovers riding off into the sunset. This never happens.
