Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When thinking of foreshadowing, a reader gets an image of a scene in a novel, book, or movie that highlights an event before it occurs; prefigure.

The verb 'foreshadow' by definition means to show or indicate beforehand.

There are two types of foreshadowing: indirect and direct.

• Direct would be more obvious - tells the reader broadly what will happen. Techniques include prologue, dialogue, narrative statement, and prophecy.
• Indirect would be subtle - leaves clues without giving it away. Techniques include casual remarks in dialogue, shifts in setting, superstitions.

Example: How does Shakespeare use foreshadowing to create suspense in Macbeth?

Answer:

In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses direct foreshadowing when the witches predict that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and, later, king.

2. Indirect foreshadowing (or covert foreshadowing): In this type of foreshadowing, the story hints at an outcome by leaving subtle clues throughout the story.

• “Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be, Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."

These lines foreshadow Macbeth's eventual killing of the king.

Hope this helps.
