In Chapter 5 of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles dickens there is a big wine spill from a large cask in front of a wine shop. Everyone around would do everything that they could to get the wine. Some would use handkerchiefs from other women's heads, some would use cups and even cup their hands to drink it. Since it was red wine it stained people's clothing, hands, and all on the streets. Dickens says “those who had been greedy with the staves of the cask, had acquired a tigerish smear about the mouth; and one tall Joker so does merge those who had been greedy with the staves of the cask, had acquired a tigerish smear about the mouth; and one tall joker besmirched, His head more out a long squalid bag of a nightcap than in it, scrawled upon a wall with his fingers dipped in muddy wineless- BLOOD”(Dickens 22-23). This quote could show foreshadowing for later events because since all of the red wine was stained over everyone and everywhere this could resemble a war or fight of some kind. In the quote it mentions blood, which is red and wine is red so that also shows a resemblance.
