refers to a literary device used to give hints or clues about events that will happen later in the story.
It keeps readers curious and builds suspense!
📖 The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary defines it as:
“to give a warning or an indication of a future event.”
✨ Fun fact: In Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo says he’d rather die than live without Juliet, it’s an early hint of what’s coming - that’s today’s term!
