Foreshadowing occurs in chapter 13 on page 137 when Sydney Carton is pacing the streets. "His feet became animated by and intention..." just like Dr. Mannette's feet when he paces his office with Lucie after she catches him making shoes again. The doctor's need for pacing shows he was in a state of darkness so when Carton "...vaguely and unhappily..." wanders the dark streets for "many a night" it symbolises darkness coming into or exsisting in his life and foreshadows his dowfall. Also, just like Dr. Mannete's sanity is wholely based on his and Lucie's relationship, Carton is also in a dark depression because of the type of relationship he'll never have with Lucie and he goes to her for "comfort" to tell her his feelings so they die with him.
Carton also foreshadows his death in the same chapter on page 139. He says he is "...nothing, doing no service, idly burning away...Let me carry through the rest of my misdirected life, the remembrance that I opened my heart to you, last of all the world...I draw fast to an end...my last avowal of myself was made to you"
More symbolism and foreshadowing is displayed why Young Jerry discovers that his father is a Resurrection-Man. He was "...so terrified...that he made off, with his hair as stiff as his father's."Then, the next day when they're both heading off to work fro the bank Young Jerry exclaimed that he "...should so like to be a Resurrection-Man when [he's] quite growed up."
