The technique of foreshadowing is one of the more interesting tools that a writer can use because it forces the reader to perform a close reading and have them guessing the whole time up until the climax.

Right in the text, it is stated that he is already dead, but that does not matter to the reader, who is intrigued by Farquhar’s escape and journey.…

The element of foreshadowing is exemplified early in the passage with the visual description of the Indian skyrocket. Was the skyrocket, with its orange and yellow star-burst and streaking gray tail, a warning? Perhaps the skyrocket was a portend of a horrendous attrocity about to occur. Certainly, the resounding echo and brilliance of the skyrocket would alert the villagers to impending danger. In a land already rocked by its internal strife, such a sight in the still darkened sky would send shockwaves of fear and panic throughout the small community. The reader, too, must ponder the implication of this apparent…
Foreshadowing helps build a feeling of suspense when reading a text. Based on my research, foreshadowing is a hint or when the author mentions something that will happen later in the story. Foreshadowing can be used to help the reader infer or predict what will happen next in the story. This also be used to build a feeling of suspense by having the reader wonder what will happen next.

In the book Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck uses the literary element of Foreshadow to masterfully illustrate the stigma and misunderstanding of the mentally ill during the 1930's. Foreshadowing is a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.
