Answer: Most—perhaps all—of Beowulf’s events are foreshadowed, and the most important events are announced outright, usually just before they happen. The poem’s original audience almost certainly knew the story of Beowulf already, so the poet is not concerned with spoiling it. Instead, foreshadowing emphasizes Beowulf’s central theme of inevitability. The fate of a person, or of a whole people, is inevitable, and that fate is always the same: death and destruction.
