Foreshadowing
  • The simplest form of foreshadowing is by
    mentioning something that will be later used in
    the story. Usually, it is mentioned in passing or
    described as part of a set of seemingly
    unimportant things. The best example is that of
    Chekhov's gun when a certain setting is
    described, it is mentioned that a loaded gun is
    hanging on a wall. Much later on, this gun is
    taken off the wall and fired.
  • To draw the reader's attention to the otherwise
    subtle foreshadowing element, writers may often
    make repeated references to the object throughout
    the story.
