👉 In the context of literature, "foreshadowing" refers to a literary device where the presence or absence of an event is hinted at in advance. This can be accomplished through descriptions, symbolism, imagery, or other literary elements that suggest what will happen next. For example, if a character says something about the future and then goes on to describe how they feel (for instance, "I'm feeling like I'll never see them again"), this is an example of foreshadowing.
