Charles Dickens is a well-known English writer who lived from 1812 to 1870. One of Dickens's most famous novels is called A Tale of Two Cities.

Forecasting is a very important aspect of writing because it is a literary device in which the writer can explain to the reader important details of plot development that can be introduced later in the novel. In this specific novel, Charles Dickens illustrates the idea of ​​foreshadowing diligently and also with specific and concrete information. Sidney Carton's conversation with Lucie Manette, the knitting, and the wine barrel scene all illustrate and emphasize the idea of ​​foreshadowing in A Tale of Two Cities. Sidney Carton's conversation with Lucie Manette is an example of foreshadowing. Mr. Carton confesses to Lucy that he loves her and also states, “For you and all those you hold dear, I would do anything” (Dickens 117). Although Carton does not clearly know that he will sacrifice his life, this phrase foreshadows the ending of the novel, which requires Mr. Carton to sacrifice himself to save Darnay. In the chapter where Mr. Carton and Charles Darnay switch places, Sidney Carton asks Darnay to write to Lucie: “'I am grateful that the time has come when I can prove it to them. My doing so is no matter of regret or sorrow” (Dickens 273). Mr. Carton is doing something for Lucie as he previously stated. At the end of the novel, Sidney Carton feels that he has achieved and fulfilled his purpose in life by saving Darnay for Lucie. Knitting, more precisely that of Madame Defarge, also highlights the idea of ​​prefiguration. Among the carriage driven by Monsieur le Marquis...... middle of paper ......about.

This is to help the reader remember when the information is first introduced and then parallel it with the new scene in which it is mentioned. Foreshadowing is huge in A Tale of Two Cities because not only does it help the reader understand certain scenes, but this literary device also builds the reader's enthusiasm and encourages them to continue reading.
