What is "foreshadowing"?
Foreshadowing is a literary device used to give hints or clues about events that will happen later in a story. It creates anticipation and builds suspense by subtly suggesting future developments. For example, if a character mentions feeling uneasy about an upcoming event, it may foreshadow trouble or conflict that will occur later. Foreshadowing helps to prepare readers for what is to come, making the story more engaging and cohesive.
