Chapter 7

Foreshadowing: What prediction does Simon give Ralph? What mood does this prediction cast?

Answer 1

Foreshadowing has been used significantly in the Lord of flies; in chapter 7, Simon affirms to Ralph not to worry; he tells him, “You’ll get back all right.” This was a prediction of something good that was going to happen. However, Ralph responds with discomfort because he doesn’t understand the meaning of the prophecy, which Simon meant that he would be rescued. The scene sets an emotional mood of encouragement and hope.
