Don't look now

What is the meaning of this title? Thank you, Maikel (talk) 04:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Literally, it is the first three words of the story: '"Don't look now," John said to his wife, "but there are a couple of dears two table away..."'. In a less literal sense it is a metaphor for the story as a whole, because John has precognitive abilities that he refuses to accept. He mistakes his visions as something he is seeing in the present (i.e. the here and now), rather than as second sight of what is to come, and that misinterpretation of what he is seeing has fatal consequences for him.
