Literary Devices Similar to Foreshadowing

There are a number of literary techniques and practices that have some overlap with foreshadowing. Here are a few to keep in mind:

1. Chekhov’s Gun: is a writing best practice often confused with foreshadowing. Russian playwright Anton Chekhov famously said, “If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off.” The refers to the idea that every element in a story should contribute to the whole, and that every detail that “sets up” an outcome should “pay off” in some way. In the example of Chekov's Gun that could mean one character shooting another but an author may also choose to defy that expectation—say, by filling the gun with blanks.

2. Red Herring: Unlike foreshadowing, which is designed to hint at something that will happen in your story, a red herring is a literary device that is designed to mislead the reader, distracting them from the eventual twist. Red herrings are often used in mystery novels, with characters suspected of a crime turning out innocent.

3. Flashforward: The opposite of a flashback, a flashforward (also known as flash-forward or prolepsis) brings your reader forward in time for a glimpse at the future. This is different from foreshadowing, as you’re explicitly showing your readers what is to come. Stories that employ flashforwards derive their suspense not from readers wondering what will happen, but rather how it will happen.

I've actually employed this literary device personally in one of my completed books 'Vicious Fangs' on wattpad and enjoy both reading and writing it!

it's one thing to be spaced out, it's another to understand what spaced out means.🦩
