The Art of Foreshadowing in Literature

 Foreshadowing is a technique used by writers to hint at future events or plot twists, creating suspense and anticipation in the reader. It can also add depth and complexity to a story by creating a sense of inevitability or fate. For example, in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," the seemingly innocuous details and dialogue at the beginning of the story gradually build tension and foreshadow the shocking twist at the end. Similarly, the recurring imagery of fire and destruction in Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" foreshadows the book's climactic act of rebellion.
