    Foreshadowing is a technique where authors provide subtle hints about future plot developments to prepare readers for what may occur later in the story. An author uses foreshadowing to drop clues so readers can predict upcoming events, which maintains believability even in genres like science fiction that could strain credibility. Foreshadowing is most effective if readers do not consciously recognize it as preparation for later events.

    Foreshadowing[edit]

    Foreshadowing is a technique used by authors to provide clues so the reader can predict what might occur later in the story. An author drops subtle hints about plot developments to come later in the story. It prepares the reader for later action and subsequent images so that the reader or spectator is not jarred and verisimilitude is maintained even in science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, and other genres that might otherwise test credulity. If such preparation is recognized as such by the reader or spectator, it may be ineffective and artificial.
