Act I, Scene II includes several elements of foreshadowing. Florio's comment that he wants no bloodshed to arise out of conflict over his daughter is an ironic foreshadowing of the action to come, since a great deal of bloodshed arises out of various men's desire for Annabella. Another piece of similarly ironic foreshadowing appears in Giovanni's request to be killed and the manner in which he wants to die, both of which foreshadow the way he, in turn, kills Annabella. Finally, Putana's reference to Hippolita foreshadows developments in the Hippolita subplot, introduced later in the play.
