Foreshadowing or adumbrating is a literary device in which an author hints certain plot developments that perhaps will come to be later in the story.[1] It is used to arouse the reader, viewer or listener about how the story will proceed and mentally prepare them for how it will unfold.[2][3]
A hint that is designed to mislead the audience is referred to as a red herring. A similar device is the flashforward (also known as prolepsis). However, foreshadowing only hints at a possible outcome within the confinement of a narrative, while a flashforward is an interrupted scene that takes the narrative forward in time from the current point of the story in literature, film, television, and other media.[4][5]
