Foreshadowing 1

Foreshadowing 1

“…those events which led, by insensible steps, to my after tale of misery… has swept away all my hopes and joys.” (pg. 24)

Near the beginning of Frankenstein’s tale, he speaks of his love for natural science and how this love would eventually lead to his “misery”. The author/storyteller Frankenstein uses foreshadowing to let the reader/Walton know that something important (and clearly awful) will soon be occurring in the story.
