Foreshadowing is a literary technique where the author hints at events that will occur later in the story. This can be done through:
* Dialogue: Characters might say something that hints at future events, even if they don't realize it themselves.
* Symbolism: Objects or imagery can be used to represent future events.
* Setting: The setting of a scene can be used to foreshadow future events.
* Action: A character's actions can hint at what will happen in the future.
Foreshadowing keeps the reader engaged and creates suspense, as they try to piece together what the clues might mean.
