Explanation:

The novel Of Mice and Men includes many cases of foreshadowing that further enrich the plot. Some examples include the following. If you have not finished the book, I warn you, because there may be some spoilers.

• "You gonna have trouble with that Curley guy. I seen that kind before. He was kinda feelin' you out. He figures he's got you scared and he's gonna take a sock at you the first chance he gets" (29).

• "Lennie ain't handy, but this Curley punk is gonna get hurt if he
  messes around with Lennie" (36).

These quotes right here foreshadow that Curley will come into a conflict with Lennie, and eventually get hurt by him, which ends up happening. This is just one instance where foreshadowing takes place with multiple quotes.
