How does the author use foreshadowing in The Law of Love?

Foreshadowing and flashback are used in unique ways in this story. In the first chapter, for example, Rodrigo's rape of Citlali foreshadows his own rape by her in another life when she is a man and he is a woman. This gives Esquivel the opportunity to make her "what-goes-around-comes-around" point in Chapter 10. Another more direct example of foreshadowing occurs in Chapter 5, when Isabel's Demon predicts that Azucena will be included in Isabel's destiny and it will bring them into contact with God, which is what happens in the final paragraphs of the story.
