Foreshadowing• Definition: hints or clues that suggest what will happen later
in a story• Can come in many forms:
– Setting – The weather or general mood/atmosphere• “There were storm clouds upon the horizon as I walked home from
school.”
– Dialogue – Characters hint at future events• Romeo and Juliet say they’d rather die together than live apart from each
other. Eventually… they die.
– Smaller, repetitive events – These may lead to a bigger one• The movie Signs shows random little hints that aliens are present.
