Foreshadowing of Suitors

Here are a couple examples of foreshadowing for what could happen to the suitors in the future. "Didn't you see my son sneeze at my words? That means death will surely come to the suitors. One and all. Not a single man will escape." "But if Odysseus should ever come home, he and his son would make them pay for this outrage." "May Zeus destroy them utterly, before any harm can come to us." These three examples are all different kinds of examples The first example is very direct. Penelope is saying that all the suitors will die. The second one is indirect because he is saying that thee suitors will pay for what they are doing, but she doesn't give an exact example so we don't know exactly what will happen. The last one is a prayer to Zeus, asking him to destroy all the suitors before they harm anyone of them. These are all examples of foreshadowing into what will happen to the suitors in the future.
