Setting:  The setting of a piece of literature is the time and place in which the story takes place. The definition of setting can also include social statuses, weather, historical period, and details about immediate surroundings. Settings can be real or fictional, or a combination of both real and fictional elements.

Exercise - https://www.ereadingworksheets.com/reading-comprehension-worksheets/setting-worksheet-01.pdf

Protagonist - A protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel or any other story. A protagonist is sometimes a “hero” to the audience or readers. 
https://literarydevices.net/protagonist/

Antagonist - In literature, an antagonist is a character, or a group of characters, which stands in opposition to the protagonist, which is the main character. 

https://literaryterms.net/antagonist/

Foreshadowing:  Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives clues about events that will happen later in the story. Often these clues are fairly subtle so that they can only be noticed or fully understood upon a second reading. Foreshadowing can come in the form of descriptive detail, such as storm clouds on the horizon, bits of dialogue, and even in the names an author gives characters. For example, John Steinbeck based his novel East of Eden on the story of Cain and Abel, and named his characters Caleb and Aron to foreshadow their respective fates.
