To give a hint of future happenings is the way in which foreshadowing is used in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, foreshadowing is a literary technique by which the author hints at what may happen to a main character. For example, in the beginning of the play, Theban Princess Antigone foreshadows her own fate. She declares that the worst that will happen to her for breaking the law is an ignoble death. Death by live burial becomes her punishment, but hanging by her own hands becomes her actual fate.
That Antigone's death will bring about another'sdeath and that father and son never will see each other again are the threats made by Haemon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon says that Princess Antigone will be executed. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed, makes an effort to get Creon to change his mind. Creon does not understand that Haemon is foreshadowing his own death in saying that someone will die as a result of Antigone's death and that he never plans to be in his father's company ever again.
Foreshadowing is a representation before hand, some kind of premonition of what happens in the story. In the play 'Antigone', the main character of the same name decides to disobey an inhumane, unfair, unjust, unpopular law. The foreshadowing of what happens to her in her disobedience is her statement to her sister, Ismene, 'I shall not suffer aught so dreadful as an ignoble death'. Antigone indeed hangs herself after being walled up in a remote cave, away from Haemon, her fiance and first cousin. The foreshadowing of what happens in response to the law is the blind prophet Teiresias' statement to Theban King Creon, 'A time not long to be delayed shall awaken the wailing of men and women in thy house'. King Creon indeed suffers the loss of Eurydice, his wife and his Queen; and of his son, Haemon. Both commit suicide.

Foreshadowing is important in the play 'Antigone'. In terms of the readers and viewers, it's a preparation for the dark turns that the play may take. In terms of the characters, it's a warning of disaster ahead if they take the advice or read the signs correctly. For example, the sisters Antigone and Ismene talk about the consequences of obeying or disobeying a recent law that changes the fabric of Theban society by denying god-given rights to disloyal Theban dead. Ismene cautions against disrespect for the current law. She refers to the ignominious deaths of their parents for breaking the law unknowingly. She fears even more miserable deaths if she and Antigone are knowing lawbreakers. Antigone breaks the law, is sentenced to a nightmarish death, and chooses the same death as her mother had: suicide by hanging.
