Answer from: YEOng

Robert Louis Stevenson, in his novel "Treasure Island," uses the black spot on Billy Jones and his death as well as the revelation of the untrustworthy character of the men Jim came in contact with to forewarn the readers that Jim's fantasies will turn tragic. Only one person, Smollett, the captain, was trustworthy and Jim was little by little exposed to the evil acts that he witnessed in silence and in hiding. With all the negativity around him, he was sure to fail in the quest for the treasure.

Stevenson forewarn the readers that Jim fantasies might turn to tragic which result in foreshadowing

Explanation:

Stevenson informs the readers that the fantasies of Jim will turn tragic by making use of foreshadowing.

Foreshadowing is a device used in literature to give possible things that might occur to the reader later in the story. In chapter 7 of the book Treasure Island 7, Jim informs the reader:

Sometimes the isle was thick with monsters, that we fought; sometimes full of wild animals that tormented us; but in all my fancies nothing happened to me, tragic and strange as our real adventures.

Stevenson's quotation exactly states that nothing that Jim expected to happen was as "tragic and strange" as what eventually happened.
