Foreshadowing in drama is a literary technique where hints or clues are given to suggest what will happen later in the story. It helps create suspense and build anticipation for future events, enhancing the audience's engagement with the plot. Foreshadowing can be subtle or more overt, but its purpose is to prepare viewers for upcoming developments.

∙ 12y agoForeshadowing in drama (or anything else for that matter) is when the author/playwright/director sets up the play or action so that something will occur that has already been mentioned or foretold. For example, the main character might say at the beginning of a play "I'm really terrified of heights," foreshadowing that later on in the play he will have to deal with his fear (perhaps climb a rock wall to save his love interest). Foreshadowing is usually pretty obvious and easy to spot in dramatic pieces because the director wants to create suspense within the audience. See "Romeo and Juliet" for the best examples of obvious foreshadowing.
