Define foreshadowing and provide an example of it from oedipus the king.

In the story of Oedipus he was given a prophecy saying that he would kill his father and marry his mother. And in the end of the story he does end up killing his father and marrying his mother. This is foreshadowing, a clue or event that has happened before that tells of an event that will happen in the future.
