A- "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..."
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary device that writers employ as a way of giving some hints about what is to happen later on in the story. Foreshadowing usually brings upon a negative connotation to it.
The line "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..." was said by Menelaus to Telemachus when he hears of the suitors in the palace. By using a metaphor, he means to say that Odysseus is the lion who owns the place and the suitors are just 'fawns', who will all be killed when the master of the house returns. He is comparing Odysseus with a lion who comes back to his palace full of fawns, weaklings. This event foreshadows the fate of these suitors who were trying to force Penelope into marrying one of them, for her husband Odysseus is no more and the kingdom needs a new king.
