Victor Frankenstein uses words such as "omen" and "fate" throughtout the novel to show foreshadow Henry's death that will ultimately happen.
Numerous quotes show this foreshadowing of Henry's death,
“One man's life or death were but a small price to pay for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race.” This describes Victor’s pursuit for knowledge at all times and foreshadows the disastrous, bad consequences to happen.
"The storm that was even then hanging in the stars" when Victor feel blames his experiences on fate.
Really you can see Victor feels helpless and down. You can tell through his word choices that Henry's death has changed him.
Foreshadowing in Chapters 18- 20 when Henry Clerval enjoy his precious time in the beauty of nature which foreshadows his death.
Such when Chapter 22 foreshadows Elizabeth's death...
