During the scene where Mickey and Eddie are at school, their teachers (who is played by the Narrator) foreshadow their futures with 'talk of Oxbridge' and questioning 'how do you expect to get a job?'. This reveals how the Narrator foreshadows the twins' future, even as early on as school years, as later in the play we find out the Eddie did go to university and Mickey struggles with finding a job and became a 'dolite'. 
This links to earlier in the play, when the Narrator also foreshadows the twin' future, by using the superstition 'you know the devil's got your number', 'Devil' has connotations of death, evil and danger, which all happen later in the play. This overall creates foreshadowing through the narrator.

When the narrator changes into the gynaecologist, the twins' fate is conveyed as problematic as Mrs Johnstone (as a single mother of 7- nearly 9) isn't prepared for another child, let alone two.  Later in the play, the twins' problematic fate is conveyed through the narrator as he changes personality to become Mrs Johnstone's conscience and constantly reminds her that what she did was wrong, by using superstitions such as 'shoes upon the table'. This links back to when the plan of the twins being separated was proceeded, meaning the narrator is shadowing over Mrs Johnstone and watching her every move with superstition and foreshadowing the problematic fate of the twins' separation.]]> 2016-11-28 09:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/3evu92xmb16f/wish/140112864 https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/3evu92xmb16f/wish/140115818 Russell shows superstition through the character of the narrator through out the play to convey that what the families do affect what happens next. The song "shoes upon the table" shows this as during the first scene Mrs Lyons places a pair of new shoes upon the table Mrs Johnstone is cleaning, shortly after the twins are separated due to a binding agreement and problems are caused everyday since then. ]]> 2016-11-28 09:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hackneyl1/3evu92xmb16f/wish/140115818
