Mother Courage and Her Children How does the author use foreshadowing in Mother Courage and Her Children? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 03:11 Last updated by Jill W on 27 Jun 14:46
When Mother Courage uses the black crosses to tell the future, she foreshadows the end. As she tears the papers, she says, "...may all of us be torn apart like this if we let ourselves get too mixed up in the war."
