Q: Is a mentor always needed? Can you think of a story in which there is no mentor like character?
A: A mentor of some type is always needed in a story. The mentor can be a situation or a past experience. It does not necessarily have to be an actual physical being. I cannot think of a story in which there is no mentor.
Q: Do you think that foreshadowing ruins a story?
A: Foreshadowing does not ruin a story. It enhances it. Someone foreshadowing isn't even noticed until a certain event takes place or after the story is told. This makes it interesting. We can look back on what we missed and see that it was there all along.

The mentor is essential to the story of a hero. I cannot think of any story where there is no mentor, even if the mentor is simply the inner conscience of the hero.
