"Knowing that Mrs.Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husbands death" (Chopin pg 1) In the beginning of the story the author gives out information about a heart condition Mrs.Mallard has. This could foreshadow the ending of the story because later on she dies due to her heart condition which is why it is relevant to know about her heart condition.

"She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long" this sentence could be a foreshadow for the outcome of the story because Louise had already been described as young so there would be no reason for her to pray to have a long life. Despite her short prayer though she did not end up lasting long after that
