An example of foreshadowing in “The Monkey’s Paw” by W. W. Jacobs is the information the sergeant major gives about the death of the paw’s first owner.
Explanation:
Foreshadowing is a literary device where the events give a glimpse of what is about to happen ahead, the information that major gives about the death of the paw’s first owner prevents the characters in an indirect way about their destiny if they decide to make wishes holding the monkey's paw since it is a tricky object.
