Question

Which sentences in this passage does Edgar Allan Poe use to foreshadow Fortunato’s eventual fate in his short story “The Cask of Amontillado”? "Drink," I said, presenting him the wine. He raised it to his lips with a leer. He paused and nodded to me familiarly, while his bells jingled. "I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us." "And I to your long life." He again took my arm, and we proceeded. "These vaults," he said, "are extensive." "The Montresors," I replied, "were a great and numerous family." "I forget your arms." "A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." NextReset

Answer 1

He raised it to his lips with a leer.

"A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel."

Foreshadowing is when the writer gives a hint on what would happen next in the story and in these sentences, the readers would think suspiciously of the man who is with Fortunato.
