Here's how it works:
* Hints: The author might use subtle clues like:
* Dialogue: Characters saying things that hint at future events.
* Symbols: Objects or images that have a deeper meaning and represent something to come.
* Setting: The environment or atmosphere can foreshadow the mood or events that will happen.
* Actions: Characters' actions can suggest what might happen later.
* Future Events: These hints help build suspense and anticipation for what's to come. They might be:
* Major plot points: A big event that will significantly affect the story.
* Character development: How a character will change or act in the future.
* The story's ending: Giving readers a sense of what might happen in the resolution.
Foreshadowing helps readers feel engaged in the story and encourages them to think about what might come next. It's like dropping breadcrumbs for readers to follow, leading them on a journey through the narrative.
