I personally like foreshadowing and there are some of that in the God of small things. When Pappachi knew the moth he discovered was named after other person, he gets really angry and kind of foreshadows what is going to happen. "Its pernicious ghost-gray, furry...It tormented him and his children and his children's children."(pg.48) And this actually happens as the stories goes on by representing Rahel's fear by depicting moth.
