Chronicle of a death foretold

The title chronicle of a death foretold doesnt make any sense because its to opposite ideas in the same sentence making it an oxymoron. chronicle means in a specific order so for example days it goes " monday, tuesday wednesday..etc" . while the word foretold is the prediction of future events that are going to happen. and death meaning end so translated the title doesn't work because its the order of a end that already happened. this is a contradictory of itself because you cant have a foretelling of a chronicle. none of the words in the title agree with each other.
