Foreshadowing is the tool the author uses to create suspense. In //Coraline//, foreshadowing plays an important part creating a suspense for the story. Different characters play a big part in foreshadowing events. Some of the main characters continually provide clues for events that are going happen. For example, the cat and the mice. The cat, time after time, tells Coraline about danger, like the other mother. The mice are a different story. There are two different incarnations of them: the rats who are the spies of the Beldam and the mice. The mice are good and are most times either scared or relaxed. When they are scared that means the other mother is going to interfere; when they are relaxed, it is safe for the time. This is one of the cats big lines warning Coraline about the danger of the world: “ ‘By the by,’ ” it said. “ ‘It was smart of you to bring protection. I’d hang on to it, If I were you.’ ” This builds suspense and tension. This makes the reader wonder what kind of danger is out there, in this seemingly idyllic other world.
