Explanation:

In literature, the word "foreshadowing" is a technique used by the writer to give hints or clues about the events that will occur in a story, which help the writer to create expectations on the reader and made the reader feel interested in the literary work. For doing this, authors of stories, novels, plays etc. use precise words or hits at the beginning of the literary work or at the beginning of chapters and as part of dialogues, descriptions or events that suggest the reader the way a situation, character or event will evolve creating an atmosphere of suspense around the development of the story. Therefore, foreshadowing mainly refers to the author’s use of clues to hint at what will happen later in the story.
