How does the author use foreshadowing in One Hundred Years of Solitude?

The novel opens with the suggestion that the Colonel Aureliano will, at some point, face the firing squad. This is a technique called foreshadowing and it is used throughout the hook to emphasize the simultaneity and inevitability of events. The example of Colonel Aureliano's firing squad is also used as a memory motif. Another example of foreshadowing occurs when Fernanda says of Mauricio Babilonia, "You can see in his face that he's going to die," even though she has not yet discovered he is the one romancing her daughter Meme. Fernanda asks the mayor to order a guard to stand watch in order to catch a suspected chicken thief. When Mauricio Babilonia tries to sneak in to Meme's bathroom, that night, the guard shoots and paralyzes him.
