Question

Help please I am very bad at foreshadowing v.v

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.

"What is going to happen to all that milk?” said someone.

"Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our mash,” said one of the hens.

"Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. "That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.”

So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

Which quotation from this passage is the best example of foreshadowing?

A) “The three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud lowing.”
B) “‘Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our mash,’ said one of the hens.”
C) “The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way.”
D) “When they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.”

Answer 1

The best example of foreshadowing is D) "When they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared".

Foreshadowing in literature refers to a hint given by the author about something that will happen later in the novel. This episode of Animal Farm (1945) is significant because it foreshadows the pigs’ eventual abuse of power by implying they kept the milk for themselves instead of sharing it with the other animals in the farm. In that way, the pigs' conspiracy shows they believe to be superior than the rest of the animals and; therefore, to have the right to exert control over them. Furthermore, the 'disappearance' of the milk foreshadows the pigs' betrayals over the course of the story such as the death of Boxer, the hard-working horse that is sold off and slaughtered.
