Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique used by the authors to give the reader a clue as to what might happen in the future. Foreshadowing is not considered a spoiler, but rather a hint about something. The spoiler tells literally what will happen in the story, while foreshadowing gives only a hint of what will happen so that the reader becomes curious and increasingly interested in the text they are reading. An example of foreshadowing is present in letter A of the above question, where the speaker gives a hint that what happened in Amontilado is not a good thing.
