When you read a novel, you may find yourself searching for clues to help you figure out what is going to happen next.
Hints about what will come later in a story are known as foreshadowing. This literary device adumbrates (see definition and hear pronunciation below) future events in a novel but refrains from revealing the conclusion.
Paying close attention to these details makes the act of reading even more enjoyable.
The next time you pick up a good novel, see if you can find all the foreshadowing the author has included in the story!
