The Role of Foreshadowing in Storytelling

Foreshadowing for Writers

Foreshadowing refers to subtle clues, hints, symbols, events, dialogue, actions, or descriptions that prepare the reader for something that will occur subsequently in the plot. It builds anticipation and hooks the reader, so they want to read more to see if their predictions come true. Foreshadowing sets reader expectations so the narrative threads tie together neatly rather than appearing random.
