Foreshadowing

Foreshadow
# Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story. Foreshadowing often appears at the beginning of a story or a chapter and helps the reader develop expectations about the coming events in a story. There are various ways of creating a foreshadowing. A writer may use dialogues of characters to hint at what may occur in future. In addition, any event or action in the story may throw a hint to the readers about future events or action. Even the title of a book or chapter can act as a clue that suggests what is going to happen. (Literarydevices.net)

Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love” - From Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2
