Foreshadowing is when the author gives the readers hints of what may occur in the future. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, there is foreshadowing when Juliet says, “My grave is like to be my wedding bed”. She ends up falling in love and they both die, which in some sense her “wedding bed” was her grave.
Flashbacks provide actual information that has already occurred. For example, in the book “Tuesdays with Morrie”, the narrator recalls important past events with his college professor. This gave the readers more details of the connection between the two main characters.
Both of these elements of writing are similar in the sense that they give stories more depth and dimension.
