Detailed explanation-1: -Indirect foreshadowing (or covert foreshadowing): In this type of foreshadowing, the story hints at an outcome by leaving subtle clues throughout the story. With indirect foreshadowing, readers likely won’t realize the meaning of the clues until they witness the foreshadowed event.

Detailed explanation-2: -Foreshadowing is a literary device that alludes to a later point in the story. For example, if a character mentions offhandedly that bad things always happen to them in autumn, then the observant reader will be alert when the leaves in the story begin to fall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The direct foreshadowing definition states that an element of a story explicitly suggests an impending event. This can be executed through dialogue, a narrator, or a stated prophecy within the story. An example of direct foreshadowing can be found in Hamlet.
