In the novel the lord of the rings, there is an example of foreshadowing and Allusion combined. When Legolas is talking about the stream in Nimrodel he said, "I will bathe my feet, for it is said that the water is healing to the weary." ( pg. 380, Tolkien.) then Frodo steps into the stream, and is relieved from the pain and anxiety that came with traveling. this is possibly one of the most clear references to the Bible that this book could possibly give us, and with Frodo washing his feet in the stream, it gives us a huge bit of foreshadowing that he will die at the end. Tolkien did this most likely to appeal to his Christian viewers.
