Foreshadowing
When an author sits to write a story, she doesn't
simply write what happened. Instead, she uses
what are called literary devices which are
narrative techniques that add texture, energy, and
excitement to the narrative, grip the reader's
imagination, and convey information.
While there are literally hundreds of literary devices
at an author's disposal, what follows are a handful
of the most common.

Definition of Foreshadowing
Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an
advance hint of what is to come later in the story.
Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story, or
a chapter, and helps the reader develop expectations about
the coming events in a story. There are various ways to
create foreshadowing.
A writer may use character dialogues to hint at what may
occur in the future. In addition, any event or action in the
story may throw a hint to the readers about future events or
actions. Even a title of a work or a chapter title can act as a
clue that suggests what is going to happen. Foreshadowing
in fictioncreates an atmosphere of suspense in a story, so
that the readers are interested to know more
Short Examples of Foreshadowing
The final graveyard flower is blooming, and its smell drifts
through their house, speaking gently the names of their dead
(Foreshadows death)
The evening was still. Suddenly, a cool breeze started
blowing and made a windy night.
(Foreshadows thunderstorm)
Foreshadowing Examples in Literature
Example #1: Romeo and Juliet (By Robert
Francis)
Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is rich with foreshadowing examples,
one of which is the following lines from Act 2, Scene 2:
“Life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy
love”
In the balcony scene, Juliet is concerned about Romeo’s
safety as she fears her kinsmen may catch him. Romeo
says, in the above lines, that he would rather have her
love and die sooner, than not obtain her love and die later.
Eventually, he gets her love and dies for her love, too
Function of Foreshadowing
Generally, the function of foreshadowing is to build
anticipation in the minds of readers about what might
happen next, thus adding dramatic tension to a story. It is
deliberately employed to create suspense in mystery
novels, usually by giving false clues – or red herrings – to
distract readers. Moreover, foreshadowing can make
extraordinary and bizarre events appear credible, as the
events are predicted beforehand so that readers are
mentally prepared for them
